Gamelands Stone Circle, Raisbeck
Gamelands Stone Circle, Raisbeck, Orton, Cumbria.
This elongated circle is also called Raisbeck Stone Circle and Orton Stone Circle. .Measuring 45 x 38 metres, this is one of the largest stone circles in Cumbria, although none of the stones remain standing. The circle is thought to have been built in the late Neolithic period, between 1800-1400 BC. Excavations in the circle during the Victorian period unearthed a burial cist and flint tools. Originally there were 40 stones, but now only 33 remain. The stones are all of local Shap granite apart from one of limestone.
