Gorleston Druid Temple or Stone CircleAnother quote on the ancient megalithic stone circle (Druid Temple) that was built in Gorleston On Sea, Norfolk. All the quotes may be built on each other though but the street names do or did exist.
The below quote is from the
Perlustration of Great Yarmouth by Charles John Palmer (3 volumes printed in 1870, 1872, and 1874). These have been copied from the great site on Great Yarmouth's history by Mark Rumble called
GreatYarmouthHistory.comThere is a tradition that the Druids had a temple at Gorleston, some remains of which existed down to a comparatively recent period. It is supposed to have stood on a field next the road to Lowestoft, upon what is called Great Stone Close; and it has been asserted that some huge stones remained standing until 1768, when they were destroyed by digging round their base and dragging them down by ropes. There are also two fields called Further Stone Close sail. Middle Stone Close(2), so that it is possible the Druidical circle, if it ever existed, may have had a wide extent.
2 Thought to be the site of the water works at Middleton Road.
