Small stone circle on Swarth Fell is a Bronze Age ceremonial monument located on high moorland in Westmorland. The circle comprises a modest ring of stones positioned on the fell top, characteristic of the numerous small stone circles that dot the upland regions of northern England dating from the second millennium BCE. Such monuments typically served ritual or communal functions for the prehistoric populations inhabiting these landscapes. The site remains an important archaeological record of Bronze Age settlement patterns and religious practice in the Lake District fells.
