What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Standing stones forming a small stone circle on Standing Stones Rigg, 520m west of Ramsdale 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.
This small stone circle is likely to date to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, periods when such monuments were commonly constructed for ritual or ceremonial purposes. While specific folklore is not recorded, standing stone circles often held significance in prehistoric communities for astronomical observations, seasonal gatherings, or as markers of territorial boundaries.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
