Threestoneburn Stone Circle

A late Neolithic or early Bronze Age stone circle near Ilderton in Northumberland, set on a promontory overlooking the confluence of Threestone Burn and a tributary. The oval ring measures 36 by 30 metres and comprises 16 stones of local pink granite spaced about 5.5 metres apart, though only four remain upright. George Tate excavated the site in the 19th century, finding charcoal spreads and a worked flint. A probable double stone row extends at least 60 metres northward from the circle. The site is a scheduled monument within Threestoneburn Wood.
