What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Large irregular stone circle at Stanton Drew south east of Church Farm as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Probably dating to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, the Stanton Drew stone circle is thought to have had ceremonial or ritual significance, possibly linked to astronomical observations or seasonal events. Local folklore sometimes associates the stones with giants or ancient battles, though their original use remains uncertain.
