Harwood Dale - Druid's Circle

11 Mar 2025 10
This small stone circle is on the edge of Harwood Dale Forest. Originally there were thought to have been around 24 stones here, of which 15 now remain in a low mound of earth 14 metres wide. The circle itself is 8 metres in diameter. A single large boulder is just over a metre high, while most of the other stones are much smaller and many lean outwards. In the centre of the circle are three upright stones which are thought to have been part of a burial cist. It could well be that today's stone circle was once a burial mound or cairn, with the ring of stones forming an enclosure around the central stone cist. Special thanks to owners of the farm who allowed me to enter the property to view the stones.
