Hodson Stone Circle

Hodson Stone Circle was a stone circle in the village of Hodson in the south-western English county of Wiltshire [1]. The ring was part of a tradition of stone circle construction that spread throughout much of Britain, Ireland, and Brittany during the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age [1]. The circle was discovered and recorded by the antiquarian A. D. Passmore in the 1890s [1]. He briefly mentioned it in an article published in The Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Magazine, while detailing it in greater depth in his unpublished notebooks [1]. He recorded the circle as consisting of eight stones at that time, with a possible avenue or stone row emerging from it and facing in the direction of the circle at Coate [1]. Later archaeologists have noted that some of the sarsens used as building material in Hodson were once part of the circle [1].
