Denge sound (acoustic) mirrors. Built in the late 1920s/early 1930s as an experimental early warning system for incoming aircraft but as aircraft speed increased they were superseded by radar. The largest circular dish measures 9m across.

Looking down the valley of Mickleden with the prominent domed summit of Pike of Stickle rising up in the background.
Unpolished prehistoric stone axe head with a model of a shafted axe below, displayed on a thick blanket of green moss.
Pike of Stickle, #Cumbria, the heart of the Langdale axe industry. Langdale (Group VI) axes knapped from volcanic tuff have been found all over the UK notably at several Neolithic monuments. #StandingStoneSunday #GreatLangdale @megalithic.bsky.social @stoneclub.bsky.social @adamibbotson.bsky.social
