I finally got around to re-reading "A Fire Upon the Deep" and "A Deepness in the Sky" by Vernor Vinge in preparation for "The Children of the Sky". The two aforementioned books are amongst my most favorite works of science fiction.

Falkner's Circle
Falkner's Circle was partially excavated in 2002. The circle was originally about 36 metres in diameter though this the only one of the 10-12 stones that still exists. Mr.Falkner, after whom the circle was named, was an antiquary from Devizes, whose account of his 1840 discovery as related to William Long is as follows:
'In the dip of the hill between the Kennet avenue and a slight oblong earthwork on the slope of Hackpen Hill, a solitary stone is standing. Mr. Falkner of Devizes, has favored me with the following account of his observations in connection with it.
'"The stone which you saw in a field on the left, when you went along the avenue towards Kennet, was seen by me in 1840. I went to it, and found it was one of a circle that had existed at some former period. There were two other stones lying on the ground, and nine hollow places, from which stones had been removed, making twelve altogether. I made a note of it at the time, and the person with whom I was riding observed it also. The circle was then in a meadow, which was broken up a few years afterwards, and two of the stones removed. The circle was 282½ yards from the nearest part of the avenue. I could not have been mistaken as to the fact of a circle being there, and considered the discovery of sufficient importance to write to the Rev. E. Duke on the subject, who was not aware of what I told him, nor could he explain the matter at all, - only suggesting that the stones might have been set round a large tumulus, - but the ground was quite flat within the circle, which was about 120 feet in diameter." (Long 1858, 345-6)'"
