Kemp Howe
Date Added: 21st Sep 2021
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cumbria)
Visited: Yes on 18th Sep 2021. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 2 Access 4
Kemp Howe submitted by nicoladidsbury on 29th Mar 2004. This is the remains of what must have been a beautiful stone circle. The stones are pink granite and have a lovely glow. Unfortunately the ambience has been shattered by the "wonderful" victorians, who built the railway on top of it.

Log Text: as with many such sites it is the excavation drawings that tell the story. It sits in a timescale overlapping with the neolithic saltworks, and 1500 years before the nearby timber 'wossit'

Log Text: a lovely little kerb cairn/ring. a delightful walk along the Upper Wharfe, with its water-carved limestone. About 70 metres upstream from the ring is Yockenthwaite 'cave' a small fissure, from which some water issues, and also the eerie sound of an underground waterfall deep in the hillside. I wonder if this was there in the Bronze Age and had something to do with the siting of this ring. and what did they think the sound was? The river here is a disappearing/appearing one, as it discharges into several holes into underground aquifers, leaving downstream a dry bed, until a new water source enters it.

Great Skirtful of Stones submitted by DavidRaven on 9th Jul 2003. A massive cairn near the Grubstones circle. It sits in a very exposed part of the moor, over 1150 feet above sea level, overlooking the Wharfe valley. A fallen stone lies in the centre of the 'crater', like a recumbent menhir - though it may be nothing of the sort.

Log Text: reminded me of the cockpit up near Orton. Larger stones at regular intervals around the bank. It sits south of the crag, on a sloping platform overlooking the Ure valley southwards.
and there is a small cairn about 50 metres away, between it and the crag. The prominent landmark is Addlebrough hill to the sww.

Log Text: It's worth walking up the Dunnerdale stickles, just to give a feel for what it was like to go up the high places to get stone for axes. A mini Langdale without the dratted tourists.

Swinside submitted by AngieLake on 19th Apr 2020. This large block is stone 30 at the South of Swinside circle. It was one of the focal points in a dowse I did there on 19th June 2002, the evening I met Jack Morris Eyton. It was the link with moves 17 and 18 in this plan.

Log Text: Distinctive tall pointed northerly and large squared southerly stones. At some parts of the ring, stones are very close or touching, suggesting that originally it was a solid circle. So it is possible not correct to say it is complete and perfect. To the north east can be seen the peaks of Dunnerdale, ergo you can see Swinside from Dunnerdale fells. There is a good view of the stone circle if you climb up Swinside fell to the west, from where you will also see a grand view of the Lakes peaks, the Dudder estuary, and offshore windmills (sailing just isn’t fun anymore).
