Small stone circle 220m south-east of Castlehowe Scar is a prehistoric ritual monument located in Westmorland, England. The circle belongs to the Bronze Age period, when such ceremonial stone arrangements were constructed across northern Britain for purposes connected to gatherings, burial practices, and religious observance. The monument comprises a modest arrangement of stones forming a circular or near-circular plan, typical of the smaller stone circles that characterise the archaeological landscape of the Lake District and surrounding uplands. Such monuments represent important evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns and ceremonial practices in the region during the second millennium before Christ.
