OS Grid ref:-SD 640 799
Casterton stone circle lies near the town of Kirkby Lonsdale, about six miles east of the M6 motorway.
The circle consists of 19 standing stones, none of which are over two feet high. The stones form a circle of around 62 feet in diameter, positioned on an irregular earthwork mound. A circular feature in the bank may be a cairn.
The circle originates from the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age (2000-600 BC).Over 1,800 artefacts have been found at the site , which include drinking vessels, flint arrowheads and a bronze spearhead.
