Stone circle in Cumbria, England, the third-largest in Britain after Avebury and Stanton Drew. The circle consists of 59 surviving stones (originally about 70) of local porphyritic rhyolite, the tallest 4.6 metres, arranged in a flattened oval 109 metres on the long axis and 93 metres across. The named outlier — Long Meg — stands 18 metres outside the circle to the southwest, a 3.7-metre red sandstone monolith carved with two cup-and-ring marks and a concentric spiral. The midwinter sunset, viewed from the circle's center, drops directly behind Long Meg. Local tradition records that Long Meg and her daughters were a coven turned to stone by a wizard named Michael Scot. The circle dates to approximately 1500 BCE; the spirals on Long Meg may be earlier, suggesting the stone was already a marked monument when the circle was built around it.
A Bronze Age circle was built so its setting solstice sun lined up with a stone that was already carved with spirals when they got there.
