Ancient Stones
Gunnerkeld at Shap consists of two concentric circles, the inner one being in better condition. Note the two large stones to the N which may be entrance portals and the bloody great stone to the SSW from whose top you can get a good view of the inner circle.

Britain with the Belinus Line and the St. Michael Line
At the centre of the Michael line is the great stone circle of Avebury with stone avenues leading from the circle. I was amazed to discover that at the centre of the Belinus line is the megalithic complex of Shap, which had great stone avenues connecting stone circles. The megaliths at Shap are made from local pink granite and some are as large as the Avebury stones. Sadly most of the great stones were broken up for construction, but there are still a few to be seen today. It is interesting that at the centre of the Belinus line and at the centre of Britain is an area of pink granite an appropriate colour for the heart centre of Britain. I believe that Shap, like Avebury are both Serpent temples each positioned at the centre of the two great energy flows in Britain.
