Bleasdale

Taken from Oakenclough Road north of Beacon Fell, the arrow indicates the position of the circle on what can from here be seen to be the highest ground to the west of the west-facing semi-circle of much higher ground, *and* also between the valleys in front of, and behind the circle (in this view), both of which are formed by two identically named branches of the headwaters of the River Brock (and which meet 1.8km away from the circle in a nearly accurate southwesterly direction).

It seems to me that such saucer- or bowl-shaped topography, low or open in one half, and with a sea view, is not uncommon in the siting of ancient structures.
