Thank you for the information. I appreciate it very much. Took our three children to Castlerigg yesterday, and had to tear them away - what a beautiful place.
cheers man, love this place. Will enjoy watching this. I will be there again in the Spring. we camp at Castlerigg farm. a smashing campsite, recommend.
Castlerigg is still in my top 5 sites I'm yet to visit! Thinking about the proximity to Langdale, do any of the stones have any evidence of axe polishing on them?
I wonder if Castlerigg is one of the stone circles built as a marketplace rather than a religious site, or built to be both as needed. The area certainly fits as a centralized location of trade routes for that time period. That might explain the rectangular area as well - kind of like a "royal box" where the local chieftain, laird, or king would sit for the people to have an audience with them, maybe even a station for soldiers to keep the peace. I'd love to see what GPR or Lidar could see underneath the circle.
We have learnt that Castle Rigg Stone Circle could have once been a market place so it is interesting to see that you have this similar point of view too. I'm sure there's many a tale that could be unearthed and said about the wonders of the stone circle for sure. Very interesting. 😀
@@Archaeos0up neolithic inhabitants and who might they be? Find out about the Khasi people who are the only tribe that claims and are still building monoliths to this day, wherever they settled, monoliths were build and these were one of them. And maybe this could be your next content on this channel. ;)
