Stanton Harcourt Stone Circle known as the Devil's Quoits. By the 1940s only 3 standing stones were still in position, these were removed to make way for the wartime airfield at Stanton Harcourt. The circle has been reconstructed using 8 original stones and 21 new ones from the local quarry at Ducklington. An 1890's photo by Henry Taunt shows him standing by the surviving large standing stone.

Directions: Via the recycling centre. OR leave Stanton Harcourt in southern direction road to Standlake. Just outside the village there is a cemetery, park in lay by opposite, take the footpath though abandoned Stanton Harcourt WW2 Airfield, go through gateway into "waste land" DO NOT take footpath to left, carry on heading towards lake, go through more gates until you reach lakeside turn clockwise (left) round the lake on permissive footpath, reach stone circle after 300 meters. Take care not to leave marked footpaths as this is a working recycling restoration area with multiple dangers.
