What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Two stone circles and two stone avenues at Stanton Drew, east of Court 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 Neolithic or early Bronze Age, the stone circles and avenues at Stanton Drew may have had ceremonial, astronomical, or social functions. Local folklore sometimes associates such sites with giants or ancient battles, though their original meaning remains unclear.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
