Castlerigg stone circle and two bowl barrows

The National Heritage List for England records Castlerigg stone circle and two bowl barrows as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Castlerigg stone circle and two bowl barrows were constructed by Neolithic or early Bronze Age communities around 3000–2500 BCE. It is important as one of the finest and most accessible prehistoric stone circles in the Lake District, reflecting early ceremonial and social practices in northern England.
