Glassonby

The Glassonby stone circle (actually a kerbed cairn) is at OS reference NY57293934 on private land [1]. An oval cairn is surrounded by a ring of kerb stones (30 stones in all, although some have been taken away and others added from field clearance over the years) [1]. Two of the stones had markings in the form of concentric rings or spirals and semi-ovoids [1]. The stones were not set in sockets, but were supported by the cairn material [1]. Outside the circle, burnt bones and an inverted collared urn were found [1].
