Cold Fell Stone Circle

Cold fell circle is probably early Bronze Age or Neolithic in origin ie. about 1600 – 3000 BC. It consists of 11 stones although it is originally thought to have had 13. It was reconstructed in 1925 after eight of the stones had been removed for a gateway.

In the centre is a small circular mound and there are two indentations. Most of the stones are granite between 0.5m and 1m high arranged in a perfect circle of diameter 16.6m with the central mound of diameter 5m.
