The stones used be on the inside of the bar walls around York, they were dumped on st nicks when it was called Tang Hall tip. I came across them when I was appointed Project Coordinator of the newly created Urban Nature Park in 1994. With a couple of friends and much beer the idea of a stone circle was conceived. I used a small Kobuta(mini JCB)to collect them together, got volunteers and students from York Tech College, overseen by Paul Hill, technical advice from Fred Emerson and the work of construction began.Each upright standing stone has a counter weight stone beneath it, the upright sits on two solid stainless steel pins cemented between them.It took 3weeks to complete. I believe the stones are known as Millstone Grit

Does anybody know the original function of the stones used in the Dragon Stones circle? Or what type of rock they are?
