Stannon Stone Circle is a prehistoric monument complex located north of Dinnever Hill in Cornwall, comprising a stone circle and associated archaeological features spanning multiple periods of occupation and land use. The site encompasses a Neolithic or Bronze Age stone circle at its core, surrounded by evidence of sustained settlement and agricultural activity including hut circles, cairns, cists, and linear boundaries that attest to habitation and pastoral management from prehistoric through medieval times. The field system and settlement remains indicate intensive use of this moorland landscape during the Bronze Age, whilst the presence of a medieval building demonstrates continued occupation into the later medieval period. Together these features form a palimpsest of human activity across several millennia, making the site significant for understanding long-term patterns of settlement, land division, and resource exploitation in upland Cornwall.
