4. High on a ridge in the central Epynt is an Early Bronze Age stone circle dating from around 2500 BC. The circle was excavated in 1940 by Gerald Dunning as the firing range was established, and consisted of 27 low stones in a circle measuring 17.5m across. This circle would have provided a focus for rituals and ceremonies for the Bronze Age farming communities living nearby.
