Most circles in the South West of England are made of Granite :)

Thanks for the answer. Because granit is a local stone, or inhabitants imported of other regions of England?

Quite mystical and they definitely stand the test of time, but moving a 12 tonne one into position back then, would have been very hard work indeed ! Interesting capture and slice of history. ~Cheers~

I been reading on some ot the stones circles made around the world and it look like it may been stargates like stuff. for the dark side to come thought like what they was trying to do with the tower of babel to reach heaven by opening up a gate . that how the watchers came into the world before the flood and made the giants and after also.
