Small stone circle 220m south-east of Castlehowe Scar is a Neolithic or Bronze Age ritual monument situated in Westmorland. The circle comprises a modest arrangement of stones characteristic of upland ceremonial sites in the Lake District region, likely erected during the later prehistoric period when such stone circles served communal or ceremonial functions. The monument's small scale and remote hilltop location suggest it formed part of the broader landscape of prehistoric ritual activity across the Pennine uplands. As a scheduled monument, it remains an important archaeological record of ritual practices and settlement patterns in the region during antiquity.
