Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox ancient site Grey Croft stone circle is a restored stone circle near Seascale in Cumbria, England (Шаблон:Gbmapping). It is situated near the site of the former nuclear-power stations at Sellafield.

Description

Grey Croft stone circle is a circle of 12 stones situated south of the Sellafield nuclear site.[1] The circle is about 600 metres from the sea. Only 10 of the original 12 stones are currently standing.[2] There is a small outlying stone 21 metres to the north.[2]

History

The stones in the circle were toppled over and buried in 1820 by a tenant farmer, with the exception of one stone.[1] In 1949 the site was excavated and nine of the stones were located, and replaced as accurately as possible.[1]

The excavations uncovered an oval stone cairn situated in the circle centre.[1] Trenching under the cairn revealed charcoal traces, calcined bones, a broken early Bronze Age jet or lignite ring, and flint flakes and scraper.[1] A Great Langdale Late-Neolithic stone-axe was found near to the eastern stone of the circle.[2]
