Cheetham Close, Stone circle and archaeological site near Tottington, England.
The stone circle at Cheetham Close measures 18.5 meters in diameter and contains six confirmed gritstone slabs arranged in a circular formation.
Archaeological evidence indicates the stone circle was established between 2100 and 1500 BC, with significant damage occurring in the 1870s by a local farmer.
The discovery of a saddle quern and barbed tanged arrowheads suggests the presence of a pastoral community that supplemented their lifestyle through hunting activities.
The archaeological site requires a twenty-minute walk to reach, and visitors should prepare for muddy conditions by wearing appropriate hiking footwear.
Two main outlying stones stand separate from the circle, with one stone, known as the Mire Stone, featuring a carved cross that marks administrative boundaries.
