Overview

History & significance

Stall Moor Circle and Long Stone Row is a Bronze Age ceremonial complex situated on the moorland of south Devon near the Devonshire-Cornwall border. The site comprises a stone circle of approximately fifteen metres in diameter together with a substantial linear arrangement of standing stones extending across the landscape, typical of the ritual monuments constructed during the second millennium BCE. The stones remain in situ, preserving evidence of Bronze Age ritual practice and territorial organisation across the Devonshire uplands. Such combined monuments of circle and row are characteristic of the Bronze Age period in south-west England and reflect the significance of this location within the prehistoric sacred topography of the region.
