Stone circle north east of Thackthwaite Beck is a Bronze Age ritual monument located in Yorkshire. The circle comprises a ring of standing stones whose original number and precise diameter reflect typical Late Neolithic or Bronze Age ceremonial practice in the upland regions of northern England. Such circles served communal ritual and possibly astronomical functions for the prehistoric populations of the Pennine landscape. The monument's survival into the modern period, despite agricultural and pastoral use of the surrounding moorland, attests to its substantial construction and cultural significance to its builders.
