Castlerigg | Geometric Stone Circle in Cumbria | Giorgio Tsoukalos, Andrew Collins & Hugh Newman

Hugh Newman and Andrew Collins take special guest Giorgio Tsoukalos from History Channel's 'Ancient Aliens' on a visit to a remarkable megalithic site. Dating to nearly 3000 BC, Castlerigg in Cumbria is one of the most beautiful stone circles in the British Isles. It has panoramic views with the mountains of Helvellyn and High Seat as a backdrop. Castlerigg is about 97½ ft (30 metres) in diameter, and formerly comprised 42 stones. There are now only 38 stones, which vary in height from 3¼ ft (1 metre) to 7½ ft (2.3 metres). Three Neolithic stone axes originating from nearby Great Langdale were recovered from the site in the 19th century. In Professor Alexander Thom's opinion, this Type-A flattened circle was an astronomical observatory. The team reveal old stories of strange lights, a missing stone circle and other phenomena that was said to have occurred there. Includes exclusive aerial footage.
