Great Knott, Lacra is a Bronze Age ceremonial landscape comprising two stone circles, a stone avenue and a stone alignment situated in Cumberland, England. The monument represents a significant phase of prehistoric ritual activity, with the stone circles forming the principal focus of the site whilst the avenue and alignment extending across the landscape suggest planned ceremonial approaches and sightlines characteristic of Bronze Age sacred geography. The physical remains demonstrate the considerable labour invested in constructing these monuments, though the circles themselves are now reduced to low stone settings rather than standing structures. This complex of features reflects the widespread tradition of monumental stone construction that flourished across northern Britain during the Bronze Age.
