Sousson's Stone Circle
Sousson's Stone Circle.
This morning I had an adventure up the moors to find another of Dartmoor's Stone Circles. What a mission that was!!
Due to my own stupid fault and putting in the wrong location on my satnav I ended up missing the place I wanted and headed north up the moors to somewhere completely different. Not only were the roads covered with snow making it my first time driving in snowy conditions, I ended up with an extra hour of driving through treacherous country lanes for nothing!
Once I realised my mistake I set my satnav to the right location and found it with no problem whatsoever!
Sousson's stone circle is In a clearing left by the Forestry Commission in the Soussons plantation. It consists of twenty-two stones in a circle of diameter 8.6m. The circle of twenty-two stones are actually the kerb of a round cairn, now destroyed. In the centre lies a badly damaged burial cist.
When I got there there was still a bit of snow on the ground so ended up with this shot.
