RebeccaPenkett visited on 11th Aug 2024 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 3 We enjoyed visiting Dumpit Hill stone circles A and B on 11 August 2024. We had to walk across heather and rough bog grass for about 5 minutes after coming off the main path. We used the Megalithic app, which we needed to find because the stones because they are only just visible above the heather and bog grass.

A great little circle, only the largest 3 stones are immediately visible, possibly another 4 hiding in the heather and grass.

Pastscape tell us that: "The remains of a well defined stone circle situated at SE 02996399.It is comprised of three upright stones, set on edge, and two other stones broken off at ground level all of which appear to be set on a slight earthen bank. In addition, four other stones are recumbent within the circle ... Scheduled RSM No 24475. Scheduling note makes no mention of second circle."
The Northern Antiquarian has directions for finding the stone circle together with photographs, a brief archaeology & history and a link to Dumpit Hill B (see also 'nearby sites' below).
