What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records The Goatstones stone circle, 280m south west of Ravensheugh Crags 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.
The Goatstones stone circle is likely from the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, based on the typical dating of such monuments in Britain. Stone circles often had ceremonial or ritual significance, possibly linked to astronomical events or seasonal festivals.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
