The Southern Circle
The southern circle can be found by going through the gate to the SW, crossing a small section of muddy field and through another gate. This circle is 44m across and made up of 12 smaller stones.

  The Cove
The cove is a three sided structure behind the church seen from the circles and is 300m from the Great Circle.
When you drive into Stanton Drew you can park by the Druid Inn where the cove is in the pub garden.

The west stone is 3.1m (10.25ft) high and the east stone is 1.4m. The backstone is a large fallen slab measuring 4.4 x 2.6m (14.5 x 8.6ft). These stones are dolomitic breccia.
