Castlerigg Stone Circle
Dramatically situated against the panoramic backdrop of the mountains of Helvellyn and High Seat, Castlerigg stone circle is considered oner of the oldest British circles, it was raised in about 3000 BC during the Neolithic period
While more than 300 stone circles are found in Britain, the majority of them are Bronze Age burial monuments dating from about 2000–800 BC. Neolithic circles, such as Castlerigg, do not contain formal burials. Castlerigg is about 30 m (97½ ft) in diameter, and originally contained 42 stones. There are now only 38 stones varying in height from 1 m (3¼ ft) to 2.3 m (7½ ft).
