Concentric Stone Circle on Birkrigg Common is a Neolithic or Bronze Age ceremonial monument located in Lancashire. The structure comprises two concentric rings of stones, with the inner and outer circles arranged on the moorland landscape. The monument represents an unusual form of stone circle construction, distinguished by its dual-ring configuration rather than the single-ring arrangement typical of many British prehistoric circles. As a scheduled ancient monument, it remains an important archaeological record of prehistoric ritual practice and landscape use in northwestern England.
