History & archaeology
A place made over generations
The original circle was constructed in 1979 and later rebuilt nearby during regeneration.
Its documented design and construction make it a useful comparison for interpretations of ancient monuments.
Stories, beliefs & mysteries
Meaning through time
The circle was designed to mark astronomical events and create meaning through alignment, landscape and gathering.
Its history belongs to modern urban culture rather than inherited ancient folklore, though it is developing traditions of its own.
