Nine Stones, Stone circle in Winterbourne Abbas, England
The Nine Stones form an elliptical circle measuring 9 meters by 7.8 meters, containing seven small stones and two larger stones at the northwest entrance.
The stone circle dates from the Bronze Age between 3300 and 900 BCE, during a period when circular monuments replaced earlier structures in Britain and Ireland.
Local residents named this monument the Devil's Nine Stones, Nine Ladies, and Lady Williams and her Dog, connecting it with regional tales and traditions.
The stone circle stands near the A35 road in Dorset, enclosed by iron railings and surrounded by trees on three sides with parking available nearby.
Seven stones in the circle measure under 90 centimeters, while two northwestern stones reach heights of 2 meters and 1.8 meters respectively.
