Priddy Circles are a linear arrangement of four circular earthwork enclosures near the village of Priddy on the Mendip Hills in Somerset, England.[1] The circles have been listed as Scheduled Ancient Monuments,[2] and described as 'probable Neolithic ritual or ceremonial monuments similar to a henge'.[1]
The southernmost Priddy Circle falls on adjoining land to a house and stables that are owned by retired businessman Roger Penny.[3] In 2012 Penny was fined £10,000 after the earthwork was damaged by work he had permitted.[3]
