Ringmoor stone row and cairn circle, Bronze Age stone alignment in Dartmoor National Park, England.
The stone row stretches 356 meters across Ringmoor Down, featuring single and double sections with a cairn circle at its southern terminus.
During medieval times, numerous stones were removed from the original alignment and repurposed for agricultural boundaries and construction materials.
The stone row represents a significant example of prehistoric ceremonial structures, forming part of an extensive network of ancient monuments in the Upper Plym Valley.
Access to the site requires parking near Burrator Reservoir and following a walking path across moorland terrain, with navigation assistance from Ordnance Survey Explorer OL28.
The cairn circle at the southern end measures 12.6 meters in diameter, while a solitary standing stone marks the northern end of the alignment.
