Wilmersham Common stone row is a Neolithic or Bronze Age linear arrangement of stones located in Somerset, England. The monument consists of a series of stones set in alignment across the landscape, characteristic of prehistoric ritual or ceremonial sites found across south-western England. Stone rows of this type are typically assigned to the Bronze Age, though some may have Neolithic origins, and they often served functions related to territorial demarcation, processional routes, or sacred landscapes. The specific location near the confluence of local watercourses may reflect the importance of water sources in prehistoric settlement and ritual practice.
