Castlerigg, Cumbria, England - 02 September 2023: The Castlerigg stone circle is located 1.5 miles south east of Keswick in Cumbria, England. It is one of Britain’s most impressive monuments, surrounded by a ring of mountains in the Lake District, and is one of the earliest stone circles to be discovered in the country. It is extremely notable with respect to its geometry and astronomical connotations associated with the megalithic era. There are 38 standing stones, some of which are almost 3m high. The stone circle dates back to the Neolithic period of 4000 to 5000 years ago and it’s precise original purpose is uncertain, although use for religious ceremonies or as an astronomical observatory are just some of the reasons proposed. The site is protected under the Ancient Monuments Protection Act of 1888 and it was acquired by the National Trust in 1913 and is currently maintained by English Heritage.
