Small stone circle on White Hag is a Bronze Age ceremonial monument located on the moorland of White Hag in Westmorland, in the north-west of England. The circle comprises a modest arrangement of stones set upon the open fell, typical of the smaller ritual monuments constructed during the Bronze Age across the Lake District and surrounding upland regions. Such circles served ceremonial, astronomical, or commemorative functions within Bronze Age communities, though the precise ritual purpose of this particular example remains undetermined. The monument survives as an archaeological feature of regional significance, contributing to the broader landscape of Bronze Age stone circles that characterise the upland archaeology of northern England.
