Kingston Russell stone circle is a Bronze Age monument located on the chalk downland near Gorwell Farm in west Dorset. The circle comprises approximately twenty sarsen stones arranged in a ring, though some stones have fallen or been displaced over time. The site dates to the Early Bronze Age, placing it within the period of roughly 2000 to 1500 BCE when such ceremonial monuments were being constructed across southern Britain. Like many Wessex stone circles, Kingston Russell likely served ritual or funerary functions for the Bronze Age communities who inhabited the chalk downlands of Dorset.
