Fernworthy Circle, Stone circle in Dartmoor Forest, England.
The Fernworthy Circle contains twenty-seven granite stones arranged in a formation measuring 20 meters across, with stones reaching heights of 1.1 meters.
During excavations in 1897, archaeologists from the Dartmoor Exploration Committee discovered a substantial layer of charcoal within the circle's boundaries.
The circle includes three associated stone rows and multiple cairns, indicating its function as a Bronze Age ceremonial center in the Dartmoor landscape.
Located within a Forestry Commission plantation, visitors can reach the site by following the path from Warren House Inn, approximately 4.8 kilometers away.
The stones form a slightly flattened circle with a distinct southern entrance marked by two small stones flanked by larger ones.
