So, we always ask for feedback on our workshops, and this one is from Little Eaton on Tuesday. #StoneAgeToIronAge #KS2 #HistoryTeacher

Back to #Cumbria for this week’s offering for #StandingStoneSunday. Here is one of the larger stones of Gunnerkeld stone circle, so close to the M6 motorway.
Colour image of some of the stones forming the Gunnerkeld stone circle. The large stone to the centre left of the picture is almost block-like in appearance with a rounded end. In the background there is a pantechnicon and other traffic on the M6 motorway. Different view of the same stone showing how the ground slopes away from the circle.
