Kingston Russell stone circle is a Bronze Age ritual monument located on the chalk downland of Dorset, approximately 750 metres north-east of Gorwell Farm. The circle comprises a ring of sarsen stones, though the precise number and arrangement have been affected by later disturbance and agricultural activity. The site dates to the later Bronze Age, a period when such ceremonial stone circles continued to hold significance within prehistoric communities, though many such monuments were established in earlier prehistoric periods. The Kingston Russell circle forms part of the notable concentration of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments found across the Dorset chalk downs, including other stone circles and ritual sites that define this landscape of archaeological importance.
