Monument record TQ 66 SE 4 - Sarsen stones [non-antiquity] at Ryarsh
Summary
At the beginning of the twentieth century nine sarsen stones in Ryarsh were listed as a megalithic monument or the remains of a Stone Circle. This theory has been discounted in favour of large stones being removed during field clearance and placed in a stream bed.
