Stannon stone circle, Bronze Age stone circle on Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, England.
The circular formation contains 47 upright stones and 30 recumbent stones, creating a structure measuring 42.6 meters by 40.5 meters on the slopes of Dinnever Hill.
Archaeological excavations in the 1960s revealed evidence of a settlement with round houses, where approximately one hundred people engaged in agriculture during the Middle Bronze Age.
The stone circle forms part of a ceremonial complex alongside Louden Hill and Fernacre circles, with stones positioned to align with Rough Tor during specific sunrise events.
The site requires navigation through single-track roads from the A30, with access paths leading to the circle located between two streams near Stannon Farm.
The structure follows Alexander Thom's Type A flattened circle design, featuring stones averaging 0.5 meters in height, with the largest stone base exceeding 1.2 meters in width.
