Fell End Stone Circle
Fell End Stone Circle submitted by MonumentMan : Fell End Stone Circle looking SW. Angus Cows were in the field. The stones appear well rubbed by cattle but the stones must be buried a considerable depth as none are fallen. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Modern Stone Circle in Cumbria.

A circle of 5 large (1-1.5m) limestone boulders are spaced regularly around a central limestone boulder (1.5-1.8m) at NY 73135 00175. The circle of stones is about 15m across but is raised on a platformed earth bank 20-25m across. The central boulder is again raised on a mound somewhat above the 5 surrounding stones. The source of the boulders is believed to be from the local area east of the site which has many large limestone boulders broken off the escarpment of Fell End Clouds below Wild Boar Fell.

The boulders were likely sourced from these cliffs and rockfalls. Many litter the fellside next to the road as you drive towards the circle. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Contacted Mark Brennand at HER

Unfortunately this stone circle is not 'bona fide' and it turns out that someone placed the stones there after 2011. They do not appear on Google earth satellite view before then.

That means the site is a 'modern' attempt at a stone circle!

BUT... Mark says that there is a potential prehistoric Bronze Age round cairn under the stone circle. So the Pastscape link is correct.

I will be exploring this region in more detail - real lost standing stones and stone rows are thought to exist nearby and just need to be located.

    A good piece of detective work, MonumentMan - thanks for the update, and how intriguing about the stones being recent. It would perhaps be interesting to speak to the farmer who owns/farms the field to find out more about who put the stones there, and why.

    Looking forward to seeing what else you discover in this part of Cumbria. Thanks again!

Nicely spotted, MonumentMan. The mound is clearly visible on UK Grid Reference Finder at the grid reference given by Pastscape (NY 7316 0023). On Google Earth, all five stones plus the central stone can be seen. Pastscape mentions the mound was previously mistaken for a lead mining mound, so was not previously recorded.

Just a thought - have you contacted the Cumbria County Council HER? Contact: Mark Brennand, Manager - Lead Officer Historic Environment and Commons, mark.brennand@cumbria.gov.uk, as he may be able to confirm what you've found or help with more information? Mark is incredibly helpful and usually very quick to response. Thanks for submitting this!
