Gors Fawr Stone Circle is a Neolithic monument located in the Preseli Hills of Pembrokeshire, Wales, comprising a ring of standing stones that once formed a ritual and ceremonial centre for prehistoric communities. The circle consists of sixteen stones of varying heights, with the most substantial examples reaching approximately two metres, arranged in a roughly circular formation typical of Early Bronze Age ritual monuments in Wales. The site's location in the upland landscape suggests its use as a focal point for communal gatherings and possibly funerary practices associated with the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age periods. The monument remains a significant example of prehistoric stone circle architecture in south-west Wales and is protected as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw.
