The Druid's temple is a member of a class of stone circles that post-date some of the earlier Cumbrian stone circles (such as Castlerigg) by perhaps 500-1000 years. These later circles tend to be smaller and composed of fewer stones but can often be composed of  concentric stone rings. The Druid's temple is composed of two rings of limestone boulders and is situated on a hillside above the town of Ulverston and the village of Urswick. It commands fine views over Morecambe bay. The stones of the inner ring are larger than those of the outer. The circle is interesting in that the area enclosed by the inner circle was once paved with an unusual type of blue stone. Considerable effort must have been made by the builders of the circle to source this particular type of stone.




 The inner circle contained inhumations , including one contained within an ornate urn.
