Stripple stones, Stone circle in Blisland, Cornwall, Great Britain

The Stripple stones form a circular enclosure measuring 53 meters in diameter with four granite stones and a central fallen menhir.

During excavations in 1905, archaeologists discovered burnt stones, flint flakes, ox bones, and oak charcoal fragments within the surrounding ditch.

The circle features three semi-lunar projections pointing northwest, northeast, and east, marking significant astronomical events such as Mayday sunset.

The site sits on the southern slope of Hawk's Tor, approximately 10 kilometers northeast of Bodmin within the Bodmin Moor region.

Four post holes surround the central stone, which stands 4.3 meters offset from the circle center toward the southeast direction.
