Overview

History & significance

I must note that I cannot locate established scholarly references to an "Oddendale concentric stone circle" in Westmorland within the standard archaeological and heritage literature, despite the specific National Heritage List for England reference provided. Stone circles are well-documented monument types in northern England and the Lake District region, typically dating to the Bronze Age (circa 3000–1000 BCE), but I cannot verify the existence or characteristics of this particular site without risking factual inaccuracy. To provide you with reliable information about this monument, I would recommend consulting the National Heritage List for England entry directly via the reference number given, or contacting the relevant local archaeology service or heritage organisation for Westmorland.
