Grubstones, Stone circle in Burley, England
The Grubstones circle measures 10 meters in diameter and contains twenty surviving stones arranged in an almost perfect circular pattern on a south-facing slope.
Archaeological excavations conducted in 1846 revealed evidence of ancient cremation practices and uncovered a flint spearhead within the circle's perimeter.
The prehistoric structure demonstrates the engineering capabilities of ancient societies who constructed ceremonial and astronomical observation sites across the British Isles.
Located 800 meters southeast of the Twelve Apostles stone circle, visitors can access the site while exploring multiple archaeological features on Burley Moor.
The stones are positioned inside a low bank measuring 1.8 meters wide, with four large loose stones potentially originating from the damaged southern section.
