Brisworthy stone circle is a Bronze Age monument located on Bodmin Moor in Devon, England. The circle comprises approximately twenty-eight stones arranged in a roughly circular formation, with diameters typically measured between twenty-five and thirty metres. Dating to the later Bronze Age, likely between 1500 and 1000 BCE, the monument forms part of the significant concentration of ritual and funerary sites characteristic of Bodmin Moor. The standing stones, some reaching heights of over two metres, represent a substantial example of Devon's Bronze Age ceremonial landscape and continue to provide evidence for prehistoric ritual practice and settlement patterns in the South West.
