Fernworthy Circle is a Bronze Age ceremonial and burial monument complex located on Dartmoor in Devon, comprising a stone circle with associated linear stone alignments and cairns. The circle itself consists of standing stones arranged in a roughly circular pattern, typical of Bronze Age ritual sites in the South West, and is positioned approximately 425 to 525 metres north-west of Sandeman Bridge. The accompanying stone alignments and cairns, dispersed across the surrounding moorland, suggest a landscape of ceremonial and funerary significance dating to the second millennium BCE. This grouping exemplifies the concentrated ritual activity characteristic of Bronze Age Dartmoor, where stone circles frequently occur in association with barrow cemeteries and linear monuments that may have served processional or territorial functions.
