Access to the circle:

The circle can be found 150m from the side of the B 6265 Pateley Bridge to Grassington road, about 3km west of Stump Cross Caverns. It is easy to get to and lies in a large field of short heather and grass. The circle cannot be seen from the main road and a walk up into the field is needed before it comes into view. Parking is possible at the road side.

This is a neat concentric ring of stones but only the inner circle is apparent. The stones of the outer ring are just visible to the NW about 6.3m away and are no higher than 0.15m. Others stones of this outer ring are hidden. The inner ring however is clearly defined with six large boulders that stand almost 1m high, the largest of which is at the SSE.This is a good example of a concentric ring, and with it's proximity to the main road, is certainly worth visiting.
