This stone circle consists of at least eight large stones and a number of smaller stones, which form a circle to the south of the B6276 road. Such stone circles were probably ritual or religious sites, and were built in late Neolithic or early Bronze Age. This is a Scheduled Ancient Monument protected by law (1) (2).

Prehistoric stone circle situated 650 metres south west of Lune Head Farm. The circle consists of six boulders forming an arc with two other boulders further west forming an oval 10.5 metres by 7 metres. About 9 metres north east is located an outlying stone which appears to be associated with the oval and considered part of the stone circle (7).
