This beautiful stone circle is mostly intact, featuring 55 stones and a 26.8 m diameter. It is sited in a very isolated district on farmland and near a farmhouse 5 miles north of Millom. A minor road branches off the A595 and then a long farm track takes you to the site. The last 2 kilometers must be reached on foot. Located at SD172883. The circle lies next to\u00a0Swinside Fell, part of\u00a0Black Combe<\/a>\u00a0in southern\u00a0Cumbria<\/a>,\u00a0North West England<\/a>. An entrance-exit once stood on the monument\u2019s south-eastern side. The first archaeological excavation of the site took place in 1901 under the direction of\u00a0 the\u00a0Cumberland & Westmorland Antiquarian & Archaeological Society.<\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
