Wilson Scar

Stone Circle

Miscellaneous

I suspect that the Wilson Scar circle has now been destroyed. I recently found this brief reference to it.

"Wilson Scar (NY549182) excavated c.1943, in advance of quarrying".

There is a reference to the following reports:
Dr J.E. Spence, 'A Stone Circle in Shap Rural Parish', CW2 XXXV 69
G. De G. Seiveking, 'Excavation of a Stone Circle at Wilson Scar, Shap North 1952' CW2 lxxxiv, 31.

The Mighty Burl categorises the circle as a '4' meaning 'destroyed or unrecognisable' and also mentions the prodigious chronicler of circles, Barnatt (1989).

Would this be the circle referred to as "Carl Lofts" in folklore? Posted by Branwen
