Brisworthy Stone Circle is a Bronze Age monument located on Dartmoor in Devon, comprising a ring of standing stones arranged in a roughly circular configuration. The circle dates to the second millennium BC and represents one of the characteristic ritual or ceremonial landscapes established during the Bronze Age on Dartmoor. The monument consists of a number of granite stones, typical of the local geology, arranged in a pattern that reflects prehistoric communal or religious practice. As with many Dartmoor stone circles, the precise original function remains uncertain, though such monuments are generally interpreted as having served ceremonial, funerary, or astronomical purposes within Bronze Age communities.
