We’re watching tonight’s Islands episode together at home while I cook dinner - and he just asked me…

The Devil's Quoits, Oxfordshire.
Henge & stone circle dating from the late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age.
Levelled as part of a WWII runway construction the Quoits were restored between 2002-8. Stones were re-erected & missing stones replaced & the surrounding earthworks rebuilt. #StandingStoneSunday.
