Kinniside Stone Circle is a reconstructed stone circle in the civil parish of Ennerdale and Kinniside in Cumbria [1]. Kinniside Stone Circle is situated next to the fell road from Ennerdale Bridge to Calder Bridge in Cumbria [1]. It consists of 11 small stones of local granite with a possible cairn at its centre [1]. The circle was apparently dismantled in the 18th century by a farmer who used the stones for gate-posts [1]. In 1925 a Doctor Quine of Frizington "restored" the stone circle, setting the stones in concrete [1]. Whether or not he erected the stones in their original stone holes is unclear, and it is unlikely that all of the re-erected stones come from the original circle [1].
