Gamelands embanked stone circle is a Bronze Age ceremonial monument located in Westmorland, England. The site consists of a stone circle enclosed within an earthen bank, a configuration that distinguishes it from unenclosed examples and suggests a deliberate design incorporating both stone and earthwork elements typical of later Bronze Age ritual landscapes. The monument reflects the continued importance of circular ceremonial spaces during the Bronze Age, when such sites served functions related to burial, astronomical alignment, or communal gatherings. Its preservation within the Westmorland landscape provides evidence of prehistoric ritual practice in the upland regions of northern England.
