Gamelands stone circle, Stone circle in Orton, England.
The Gamelands stone circle forms an oval enclosure measuring 44.5 by 37.5 meters at the base of Knott Scar in Cumbria.
The stone circle contained 40 stones originally, but farming activities in 1862 led to their displacement, with only 33 stones remaining today.
Archaeological excavations near the circle revealed worked flints and a probable cist-slab, indicating prehistoric human activities in this area.
Located one mile east of Orton village, the stone circle remains accessible to visitors despite its stones now standing less than one meter high.
Red granite constitutes most of the circle's stones, with a single limestone block standing out among the collection of prehistoric monuments.
