the Bull Ring

“Long ago the Bull Ring must have rivalled the mighty Arbor Low, for once there were stones here too. They are now all gone without a trace. The central area of the henge is around 50 metres in diameter and the bank now stands around a metre high.”

This once mighty and impressive henge has lost its stones, and the ditch has been used as a rubbish tip at times. There is a nice cricket pavilion nearby, and the Doveholes village and church overlook it, but even sited nearly in the middle of the village hasn’t helped this site.

Traditions

the Other - In the Hisil the Bull Ring appears worse than the flesh – the area appears to be overcast with low cloud, the bank stands higher than ever it was built by man, but made of rubbish and filth. The stones are similar in pattern to Arbor Low (a series of large stones outside, a cluster in the middle) but again are all made from garbage – discarded sofas, old washing machines, piles of car parts rusted solid and other junk make a counterpoint to the ancient site which was once here.

Spirits - There are many spiritual scavengers who haunt the Junk-Ring, small spiders, birds, rodents (there are many clockwork rat spirits - though they are but one spirit in truth; Clockwork Mischief is a fairly large predator in the area) and so on, but the true king of the Henge is Rusty-Bull-with-Steam-for-Breath, made from many the spirits of rubbish which the Iron Bull of the Ring had gorged over recent years he is on the verge of becoming a Magath. He’ll attack anyone who might be a threat to him, stopping to gorge and eat the flesh of his victims - this mighty spirit cares for nothing than feasting.
