UK Nuclear Stone Circle

Probably the UK's least known and most unfortunate stone circle this week, as we set out to look at Grey Croft. Lost for decades, this determined survivor from the Bronze Age - with possible Neolithic origins - came back into view as a giant of British nuclear history emerged alongside it.

We take a look at the circle and its surroundings today; recount the story of its restoration; consider what its location adds to our understanding of prehistory on the coast of Cumberland, whilst casting a mindful eye on the adjacent Sellafield Nuclear Decommissioning Plant.

Plus, a cautionary note on the growing trend for AI generated historical content.
