This is a reconstructed stone circle, consisting of twelve small granite stones. It is unlikely that the stones are the originals, which were thought to have been used by local farmers for gate posts during the 18th century. In 1925, Doctor Quine of Frizington set about restoring the site to its former glory.

The fell road between Calder Bridge and Ennerdale Bridge passes the small but impressive stone circle at Kinniside, below Blakeley Rise. The circle has been reconstructed, with some cast in concrete, and is formed from eleven stones with a diameter of 18 metres. The tallest stone is 1.15 metres high. Stunning views to Whitehaven and into the Lakes.
