Hethpool stone circles is a Bronze Age monument located in the College Valley near the Scottish border in Northumberland. The site comprises multiple stone circles arranged across the landscape, representing a significant concentration of ritual monuments from the second millennium BCE. The stones themselves are modest in scale, typical of upland Bronze Age ceremonial sites in northern Britain, and their arrangement suggests use for gatherings or ceremonial practices associated with prehistoric burial and religious observance. The monument's remote moorland setting, characteristic of many northern Bronze Age stone circles, reflects the importance of high-ground locations to prehistoric communities in this region.
