June 2002. Castlerigg Stone Circle, The Lake District...sorry about the fuzziness ;-)
One of the earliest circles in Britain, dates from around 3000 BC. 38 stones are placed in an slightly oval shape of 30m (100ft) in diameter; a further 10 small stones are arranged as a rectangular enclosure on the south-east side of the ring: this is a feature unique to Castlerigg, nothing similar being present in any other stone circles.
