Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:EngvarB Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox ancient site Goodaver, Goodaver stone circle or Goodaver circle (Шаблон:Gbmapping) is a stone circle located in the parish of Altarnun, near Bolventor on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall.[1][2]
Description
The circle has a diameter of Шаблон:Convert (almost exactly to thirty nine Megalithic Yards) and consists of twenty three standing stones and one recumbent that has disappeared over the last century, they were originally thought to number twenty eight.[3] The stones are well presented situated near the top of Shephard's Hill at an altitude of Шаблон:Convert. The stones are generally rectangular and measure between Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Convert high by Шаблон:Convert wide.[4] They are spaced approximately Шаблон:Convert apart, slightly more irregular but in line with other big Bodmin Moor circles. Reverend A. H. Malan discovered the circle in 1906 when only three stones remained standing.[5] Local farmers supplied workers to erect the fallen stones in their current position and it is clear that several stones were inverted, spaced incorrectly with some reversed faces and possibly in the wrong places.[6][7]
Archaeology
There are remains of a large hilltop cairn is situated approximately Шаблон:Convert southwest of the stone circle at (Шаблон:Gbmapping). The cairn shows no sign of kerb or cist and consists of a rocky mound covered in turf and approximately Шаблон:Convert in diameter and Шаблон:Convert high. Stones may have been removed for use in adjacent dry stone walls as it has been damaged on the northern side.[8] There are also some remaining hut circles in the area showing signs of ancient settlement.
