Small stone circle on Swarth Fell is a Bronze Age ritual monument situated on the high ground of Swarth Fell in Westmorland. The circle comprises a modest arrangement of stones marking a ceremonial or sacred site, typical of the numerous stone circles distributed across the upland regions of northern England. Such monuments generally date to the Bronze Age, when the construction of stone circles represented an important cultural practice linked to ritual activity, astronomical observation, or communal gathering. The site's elevated moorland location reflects the Bronze Age settlement patterns and land use of the region, with stone circles often positioned in prominent topographical settings across the Cumbrian landscape.
