Kinniside Stone Circle, Prehistoric stone circle site in Ennerdale, England.
The stone circle consists of eleven granite stones arranged in a perfect circle with an 18-meter diameter near Ennerdale Bridge in Cumbria.
Local farmer removed the original stones during the 18th century to use them as gate posts until Doctor Quine reconstructed the circle in 1925.
Researchers suggest the stone formation served as a site for lunar observations, connecting it to prehistoric astronomical practices in ancient Britain.
The fell road between Ennerdale Bridge and Calder Bridge provides direct access to the stone circle, with views extending toward Whitehaven coast.
A central cairn measuring 5 meters in diameter sits within the circle, featuring a noticeable depression and reaching 0.2 meters in height.
