The Trippet Stones is a Bronze Age stone circle located on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. The monument comprises a ring of standing stones arranged in a regular circular formation, typical of ceremonial and ritual sites dating to the second millennium before Christ. The circle's construction and purpose reflect the sophisticated understanding of geometry and astronomical alignment demonstrated by Bronze Age communities in south-western Britain. The site represents an important example of the monumental stone circles that characterised the ritual landscape of prehistoric Cornwall and remains a significant archaeological record of prehistoric religious practice and social organisation.
