Backstone Circle Stone Circle View all content for Backstone Circle

This is a crazy place and almost defies interpretation - we had a go anyway! What puzzles me is, why did the folk who built the structures around these stones not remove them? they must have hindered them. There is a possible ditch and embankment. Stu and I came up with the following possiblilities; A complete fake Stones that were placed there when the structure was built and served some sort of pratical purpose. A robbed cairn with part of the kerb still in situ A fourposter A horse shoe with central stone. A circle - we found two different possible routes for the circle. The site appears to be on a similar contour and looks across the valley to the Backstone Beck enclosure.
