Brisworthy stone circle, Stone circle in Meavy, England.
The stone circle forms an oval shape measuring 27 meters by 24 meters, containing twenty-four stones standing less than one meter tall.
During a restoration project in 1909, workers repositioned numerous fallen stones, as only four of the original forty stones remained standing at that time.
The circle belongs to a network of Bronze Age structures in Dartmoor, including nearby cairns and stone alignments that indicate ceremonial activities.
Visitors reach the archaeological site by following the Burrator 3 trail through Ringmoor, located three miles east of the A386 road.
A cup-marked boulder near the entrance displays fifteen to eighteen unexplained hollows that date from the same period as the circle.
