Print, uncoloured engraving, Gunnerkeld stone circle,
Shap Rural, Cumberland, published by John Garnett,

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.'
