Greeting the rising sun – available as greeting card, 13x13cm, blank inside.
The stone circle can be found on Bodmin moor just below the enigmatic Rough Tor within a landscape full of prehistoric ritual, funerary and settlement remains. It is assumed to be late Neolithic- middle bronze age based on excavations of other sites, and sits within a landscape with many other prehistoric features.
The circle sits within a wide natural bowl between Roughtor, Garrow Tor, Brown Willy and Louden Hill. This siting within the landscape - nestled in a basin but encircled by significant hilltops and landscape features- is something that I have noticed at multiple stone circle sites as I have visited and drawn them.
The stone circle has at least 63 granite stones Thirty-eight of the stones survive as uprights; the others are recumbent or partly submerged beneath the peat.
The card is printed in the UK, on card sourced from sustainable forests and packaged in a compostable sleeve.
