In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Druids Circle like this:
DRUID'S CIRCLE, a well-preserved Druidical temple, 2 miles E of Keswick, in Cumberland. It crowns a hill commanding a grand view; comprises forty-eight rough granite stones, set in a circle nearly 100 feet in diameter, and ten other stones, set in an oblong on the circle's east side; and was a favourite resort of the poet Southey.
