The Cockpit Stone Circle is a large Bronze Age structure standing on an ancient crossroads. It's hard to date as it shows features expected in late and early Bronze Age circles but it's between 3,500 and 5,000 years old.
It's wondered if this was used as a meeting place for the scattered local population, it may have had religious significance.

Surprisingly big stone circle that's a stones throw away from Pooley Bridge, relatively little effort required for the views
