When first spotted from the road my expectations for this circle left me in a rush to get up closer for a better look.
Sad to report this circle now has only 7 stones left standing and is pretty much a mess (see bottom image) !!.
Originally the 20 meter wide circle was thought to have 30 stones, in 1816 there were 12 stones still standing so recent times have really not been kind to this site.
Of what remains the tallest of the stones is around the 2 meter mark in height (from the 4 on the east side of the circle) the remaining 3 stones (on the west side) are smaller and are close to 1.5 meters in height.
Bocan stone circle will leave you disappointed due to the state of the site, but I would still recommend a visit for superb views. It would not take much imagination to visualize what a stunning site this once was.
Access:- You can see the main stones of the circle from the R238, parking will be anywhere you can find just off the main road.
From there you can reach the circle by climbing up to the top of a field, when you get to the top you can see the circle very well.
To get closer to the circle you will need to scale a new barbed wire fence.
