Hoarstone stone circle is a Neolithic or Bronze Age monument located near Holly Cottage in Shropshire, comprising a stone circle and two associated round cairns situated approximately 400 metres north-west of the cottage. The stone circle consists of upright stones arranged in a circular formation typical of prehistoric ceremonial or ritual sites of the third and second millennia before the present era. The two round cairns, positioned near the circle, are burial or ceremonial mounds characteristic of Bronze Age funerary practice in the region.
