Small stone circle on Standingstones Rigg is a Bronze Age ritual monument located on the moorland of the Pennines in Yorkshire. The circle comprises a modest arrangement of small stones set in the upland landscape approximately 720 metres north west of Linglands Farm. Such stone circles, characteristic of Bronze Age ceremonial practice across northern Britain, typically served functions related to ritual, gathering, or territorial marking. The precise dating and original configuration of this particular circle remain subjects of archaeological investigation, though its form and moorland setting are consistent with Bronze Age monumental traditions of the region.
