Two concentric stone circles on Langstone Moor is a Neolithic or Bronze Age ceremonial monument situated on moorland in Devon. The site comprises two rings of standing stones arranged concentrically, representing a form of ritual architecture characteristic of prehistoric Britain's later Neolithic and Bronze Age periods. Such monuments typically served ceremonial, astronomical, or territorial functions within their communities. The precise dating and original configuration of the stones remain subjects of archaeological study, though the monument's form and moorland setting align it with the broader tradition of stone circle construction across southwestern England during the second and third millennia before the present era.
