Also known as: Circulo de Maughanby, Long Meg, Long Meg and Her Daughters stone circle, associated cursus and prehistoric enclosure, Long Meg y sus hijas, Maughanby Circle, Длинная Мег, Длинная Мег и её дочери, Довга Мег та її дочки, Круг Моганби, ロング・メグ・アンド・ハー・ドーターズ

Long Meg and her Daughters lie on a terrace above water, immediately to the south of a ditched enclosure that runs round the present farm [1]. This ditch seems to pre-date the circle of stones, as the latter is deliberately flattened to take the enclosure into account [1].
