EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Castlerigg Stone Circle, located in Cumbria, England. Standing proudly on the level top of a hill in the scenic Lake District, this ancient monument is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of the area. Comprising 38 stones arranged in a circular formation spanning approximately 30 meters across, with additional stones within its perimeter, this site dates back to around 3000 BC during the later part of the Stone Age. Believed to have been utilized by prehistoric communities for ceremonial and religious purposes, Castlerigg Stone Circle may have also served as an astronomical observatory due to several celestial alignments that can be observed with these imposing standing stones. The tallest stone surpasses an impressive height of 2 meters. Owned by the National Trust, this archaeological gem offers visitors a glimpse into our distant past while surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. Its anthropological significance cannot be overstated as it provides valuable insights into ancient civilizations and their practices.
