largely buried beneath the ground. They were, he noted, "not at all conspicuous", with none protruding for more than 18 inches above the turf and some barely visible. Passmore probed the ground with an iron bar to ascertain the location and dimensions of various stones in the circle. He also dug into the space between those stones he numbered four and five, discovering a piece of burnt sarsen and patch of white ash beneath the ground, evidence for the burning and cracking of sarsen on the site. He observed that the western part of the circle was largely occupied by cow yards and rick yards and suggested that most of the stones in this area had been broken up or removed. He commented on the presence of some "big fragments" of sarsen lying around the vicinity and an area of sarsen paving, suggesting that these stones had once been part of the circle before being removed and repurposed. Passmore noted that in a field to the southwest of the farmhouse stood three large sarsen boulders. One, which was lying on its side, measured at least and long. The other two were smaller. Passmore related that an old man had recollected seeing other stones in this field being broken up many decades previously. The old man thought that there had once been a full circle of stones in the field, although Passmore considered this testimony "not sufficiently strong to build upon". Passmore also related finding flint tools and crude pieces of pottery in the field near these sarsens. Passmore also observed a third feature in the vicinity. This was a row of five stones beside the road in front of the farm; one was on the eastern side of the road, the other four being on the western side or in an adjacent ditch. He noted that several of these stones were "of considerable size". Passmore suggested that this may have once formed a prehistoric avenue which could have extended to meet the northern side of the Day House Lane Stone Circle. Passmore rejected the idea that these stones had never formed a deliberate row and had simply been moved to the side of the road by farmers eager to get them out of their fields. If that were the case, he reasoned, there would not be such even spacing between the third and fourth, and then the fourth and fifth,
