Lacra any info?

close

Does any one have an info or piccies of the circles at Lacra, tma only has one piccie and little info.

Think I've got some pics, I'll have a look and post them up tomorrow. Not the most exiting site in the world if I remember right...

Have a look here:

I've stuck another couple of pics up, as you can see it's hardly castlerigg. It was years and years ago that I was there but if I mind right the circles take some finding as there's lots of glacial erratics up there too.
If you've got Aubrey Burl's 'Guide to the Stone Circles of Britain, Ireland and Brittany' it's just a case of following the Grid references.
Make sure you go to Greycroft while you're in the area and check out the complete 'Village of the Damned' surrealness of the village of Seascale, like Sellafield anint never goin down...
Good Luck!

If yr gonna go moggymiaow, pick a *very* sunny, clear day - at least that way when you get to the site you'll have a really good view of Black Combe(I chose to go on a miserable rainy day and was highly unimpressed)

Like spaceship mark says, make sure you check out greycroft while you're in the area, also the awesome giant's grave is very close to Lacra and much more accessible!

I was up here Monday 25th. WOW! What a place this is!

I thought there was going to be just a couple of circles up there, but oh no. I was wondering around like a kid in a candy store.

I shall now have fun going through baza'a photos to see if what I thought were monuments are monuments.

As well as the circles and rows, there are other definite features. Man-made platforms and a henge-like thing.

FANTASTIC views over to the Isle of Man too. A great place, even though it is a little mesy.

Hey Moggs, thought we'd lost you there.
