Gamelands Stone Circle

Gamelands stone circle (or Orton stone circle) is a stone circle at the foot of Knott Hill in Cumbria, England [1]. Gamelands stone circle lies between the village of Orton and the hamlet of Raisbeck [1]. It is an oval enclosure of around 40 large stones together with three smaller stones [1]. The stones are set into a slight bank [1]. The stones are all below one metre in height and are arranged in an oval of 42 metres by 35 metres [1]. Around 1862 some of the stones were buried or blasted [1]. Ploughing uncovered two worked flints and a probable cist-slab [1].
