Bygate Hill Plantation, Carlisle

Bygate Hill Standing Stone

Uploader's Comments

A standing stone of Bronze Age date, situated on the highest part of Bygate Hill now within a forest plantation. The stone, which is much weathered in appearance is 1.1 metre high and 0.6 metres by 0.65 metres wide. It is fashioned from a large block of stone which is square in profile and leans slightly to the south east. If it wasn't for the dense forest plantation in which the stone is now embedded, the hilltop location would command extensive views in all directions, including north to the Simonside Hills.
