SD9465 : Bordley Stone Circle
taken 16 years ago, near to Bordley, North Yorkshire, England
Bordley Stone Circle
Also known locally as Druid's Altar this is probably a "Four Poster" type of stone circle and dates to the Bronze Age. It consists of a circular bank 15 metres in diameter, 2.7 metres wide and about a metre high. The bank was originally set with upright stones of which only three survive.
The structure has also been interpreted as a small chambered tomb in a round cairn.
Shown on the OS map as "Cairn".
