Oddendale Stone Circle

Just like its name, Oddendale stone circle is an odd little circle.  It is listed as a double concentric circle, although the inner circle is now quite ruined.  The stones of the outer circle are quite small, almost level with the grass, which, when approaching the site from lower down the hill makes the circle difficult to be seen.  The site is reached on a side road from the A6, and on the roadside at the junction is Castlehowe Scar stone circle.  Mostly ruined, Castlehowe is now nothing more than a few large boulders next to a dry stone wall.

Directions

From the A6 east of Shap, take a side road that leads to a farm and a quarry. A footpath can be taken from here that leads up to the circle.
