Rempstone Stone Circle is a Bronze Age monument located in Dorset, England. The circle comprises a ring of standing stones situated on heathland, representing a monument type characteristic of the Bronze Age period when such ritual and ceremonial sites were constructed across southern Britain. The precise number and current state of the stones reflect the typical preservation challenges faced by upstanding stone monuments over millennia of weathering and agricultural use. As a scheduled ancient monument, Rempstone Stone Circle remains an important archaeological resource for understanding Bronze Age ritual practice and landscape organisation in Dorset.
