The circle consists of standing stones arranged in a roughly circular formation, typical of the ritual and ceremonial sites constructed during the Bronze Age, a period when such monuments held considerable significance for local communities. The precise dating and original number of stones remain subjects of archaeological study, though the site represents an important example of prehistoric stone circle construction in the Lake District region.
