Nine Stones, Stone circle in Altarnun, England.
The Nine Stones circle measures 49 feet in diameter and consists of eight granite stones arranged around a central stone on Bodmin Moor.
The stone circle underwent restoration in 1889, at which time only two stones remained standing, leading to the repositioning of additional stones.
The circle represents an ancient gathering place where communities likely conducted ceremonies and observed astronomical events during the Bronze Age period.
Visitors can find parking near a farm after crossing a cattle grid on the road signposted Bastreet, just north of North Hill.
Several stones in the circle, including the central granite post measuring 1.1 meters high, lean at different angles creating an irregular pattern.
