Long Meg and Her Daughters
Long Meg and Her Daughters is a Neolithic stone circle situated north-east of Penrith.
The stone circle is the third widest in England, behind Avebury in Wiltshire and Stanton Drew in Somerset. It consists of 66 stones set in an east / west oval configuration measuring 120 m on its long axis.
Long Meg herself is a 3.8 m high, nine-tonne menhir made of red sandstone, which stands about 18 m from the entrance to the circle. On the side of the Long Meg facing the circle, there are rock carvings consisting of cup-and-ring markings, concentric circles and spirals.
There is also the smaller kerbed burial mound of Little Meg to the north.
