      4 Distribution and regional variation

    Recorded timber circles in England are widely scattered around
    central and southern counties. If examples found within henges and
    henge-enclosures were included then the focus of the distribution
    would be in Dorset and Wiltshire. Timber circles are also known in
    Wales and Scotland, although again in very small numbers.

    Further examples no doubt await discovery, particularly through
    aerial photography, although it may be noted that the existing
    distribution is undoubtedly biased in favour of landscapes that
    produce good cropmarks. The nature of the marks produced by timber
    circles means that they will normally only be seen under good
    conditions of cropmark development.

    Timber circles are generally found on elevated ground, local
    eminences and low hills with extensive views over the surrounding
    countryside. All currently known discrete timber circles are
    isolated sites.

    There is no evidence for the regional dominance of either of the
    types of timber circle defined above.
