Edgerley Stone is a standing stone located in Somerset, England. The monument dates to the prehistoric period, likely the Bronze Age or earlier, and represents part of the landscape of ritual and ceremonial activity characteristic of ancient Britain. The stone itself consists of a single upright block of stone that would have formed part of a wider system of monuments and markers across the Somerset landscape. Such standing stones served important functions within prehistoric communities, whether as territorial markers, meeting points, or elements within ceremonial complexes.
