Stanton Drew Circles and Cove

STANTON DREW CIRCLES AND COVE

5 miles from Ubley Parish

Although this is the third largest complex of prehistoric standing stones in England, the three circles and three-stone ‘cove’ of Stanton Drew in Somerset are surprisingly little known. The Great Circle, 113 metres in diameter, is one of the largest stone circles in the country and has 26 surviving upright stones. Yet recent surveys have revealed that the circles and cove were just part of a much more elaborate and important ritual site than had previously been imagined.

We are currently fundraising for the Ubley Church Facilities Project (Building for the Future at St Bartholomew's) to install a lavatory with disabled access and baby changing facilities and a separate hospitality unit to enable refreshments to be served more conveniently.  These facilities will not only make the church more usable for functions within the building, but will also be available to users of the adjacent glebe field when events take place there.  Please visit https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/ubleychurch
