This morning, me and my son made a short trip to, The Devils Quoits. The Devil's Quoits is a prehistoric stone circle located in Stanton Harcourt, Oxfordshire. The circle is believed to have been constructed during the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, around 4000 years ago.
I’m no expert on this site but it appears to have been restored. On google maps, it looks like there was a WWII Airbase built on the location, and one of the runways appears to have gone straight through. A quick bit of research shows that there was a fomer RAF Airfield there, RAF Stanton Harcourt. A training airfield for heavy RAF Bombers. Always good learn more of our history.
I’ve wanted to visit since we moved to the area almost 3 years ago, but we’ve just never got around to it, so here are a few images of the stones, my son and one frame that he took of me… A rare thing for me to be in the frame but he insisted!
With my huge interest in history, I’ve hads a thought for a new project so stay tuned for updates!
Cheers!
