Rempstone Stone Circle, Bronze Age stone circle in Corfe Castle, England
The Rempstone Stone Circle contains five upright and three fallen stones arranged in an arc within a birch woodland near the B3351 road.
The circle was constructed between 3300 and 900 BCE during a period when similar megalithic structures spread throughout Britain, Ireland, and Brittany.
Local stories tell that the stones at the Rempstone circle were thrown into their current position by the Devil, similar to tales of Agglestone Rock.
The stone circle stands 278 feet above sea level, 4 kilometers east of Corfe Castle and 5 kilometers west of Studland in Dorset.
This circle differs from other Dorset stone circles by using local sandstone instead of sarsen stone and being the only one not placed on chalk hills.
