Hethpool stone circles

The National Heritage List for England records Hethpool stone circles 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.

Hethpool stone circles date to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, based on the typical period for such ceremonial monuments in northern England. Their purpose is likely linked to ritual or social gatherings, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
