The Cockpit stone circle and seven adjacent clearance cairns, Moor Divock, is a Bronze Age ceremonial and ritual monument located on upland terrain in Westmorland. The stone circle itself consists of a ring of stones of modest proportions, typical of later prehistoric ritual sites in the north of England, whilst the surrounding clearance cairns represent evidence of Iron Age or later agricultural land use and clearance. The monument complex demonstrates the sustained occupation and use of this moorland landscape across multiple prehistoric periods. The site forms part of the broader pattern of ritual and domestic activity characteristic of the upland zones of north-western England during the Bronze Age and subsequent periods.
