This stone circle is in a stunning spot, and I'd recommend it to visitors to Keswick and the area. We visited in early 2014, before I'd joined the Portal, but it still sticks in my head as a spot I'd want to return to. The Pastscape link mentioned above tantalisingly states: "Some early sources made reference to outliers, and a stone stands 90 metres south west of the circle. However, it was erected in its present position in circa 1913. It may not be in its original position - indeed it may not originally have been a standing stone at all." It also makes reference to an 1856 notes saying there were three cairns within the circle, of which there are no longer any traces.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
