Fernacre stone circle is a Bronze Age monument located in Cornwall, England. The site comprises a circle of standing stones together with two outlying stones positioned beyond the main ring, a configuration characteristic of certain prehistoric ceremonial complexes in south-west England. The stones themselves are modest in scale, reflecting the local geology and construction methods typical of Bronze Age ritual sites in the region. Such stone circles served significant functions within prehistoric communities, likely associated with gatherings, astronomical observations, or ceremonial practices, though the precise ritual significance of Fernacre remains a matter for archaeological interpretation.
