Castlerigg Stone Circle

Visited the lake district today, this stone circle was built 4,500 years ago by the prehistoric farming community, preserved for the nation by the National Trust;)

Such an interesting find and wonder if these stones had some sort of special meaning regarding them? Reminds me a lot of Stone Henge! A wonderful capture nonetheless! :)
