Swinside stone circle
For the hill of the same name beside Derwent Water in Cumbria, see Swinside (Derwent Water).

Swinside is a hamlet lying beside Swinside Fell, part of Black Combe, in southern Cumbria, England (map reference SD171881). It is noted for the Swinside stone circle that lies nearby, a near-perfect circle just under 29 metres in diameter. The circle is also known as Sunkenkirk, after a legend that the Devil made the stones sink into the ground to prevent them being used to build a church's foundation.
