The Neolithic stone circles also differ from those of the later Bronze Age in their generally larger size and often flattened circular shape – as is found at Castlerigg – comprising an open circle of many large stones. Castlerigg is about 97½ ft in diameter, and formerly comprised 42 stones. There are now only 38 stones, which vary in height from 3¼ ft to 7½ ft.
