Swinside Stone Circle
Swinside Stone Circle and Lath Rigg near Broughton in Furness in Cumbria.
Swinside of the finest stone circles in Britain. Situated on Swinside Fell, this Bronze Age circle consists of 55 stones up to 3 metres high, and has a diameter of 27.5 metres. Its entrance appears to line up with the winter sunset. The circle's other name, Sunken Kirk, came from a legend that the devil kept pulling down a church that people were trying to build.
