	Print, uncoloured engraving, Gunnerkeld stone circle, Shap Rural, Cumberland, published by John Garnett, Windermere, Westmorland, and by Simpkin, Marshall and Co, London, 1865. Included on page 345 of the guide book, Ascents and Passes in the Lake District of England, by Herman Prior. 'Gunnerkeld Bottom, 1 1/2 mile in a direct line N.E. of Shap, a few hundred yards on the N. side of the branch-road to Appleby, at a point 3/4 mile from where it leaves the great high-road. It consists of two concentric rings of stones, of which the outer has the finest members; and at the N. point is a gateway of two upright stones,- with one other exception, the only ones in the work that are erect. In the centre are the remains of a cist, which has been rifled, and almost destroyed. A sketch of this interesting monument will assist the reader in identifying it.'
