Tongland Stone Circle Park
situated on the ridge of Tongland Hill some
200yds [yards] W [West] of the farm steading at Park
and at an elevation of [blank] over sea level are
three boulders set upright in the ground which
appear to be the remains of a stone circle. As
they stand at present they form an almost
equilateral triangle of 16' and a few inches on
each side but the most northerly of the three stones
has been erected since a survey of the remains
was made by Mr F. R. Coles in 1895, when it lay
prostrate according to the plan in front of its present position. The
Westmost of the stones measures 3'.5" in height
and 5'.4" in circumference while that towards
the E [East], slightly tilted forwards, is 3'.2" high &
6'.1" in circumference. The re-erected stone
which is a similar boulder to the others
has a height of 3' and a circumference of
6'. Near the centre of the triangle there
is an oblong excavation but no sign of
a cist. (Though Coles marks on his
plan a number of stones as existing just
beneath the turf. I did not observe any
which I deemed without doubt connected
with the circle.)
