Trippet stones, Stone circle on Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, Great Britain.
The stone formation consists of eight upright granite stones and four fallen ones, arranged in a circle measuring 31.9 meters in diameter.
The stone circle dates back to 1700 BCE, with archaeological evidence suggesting it originally contained between twenty-six and twenty-eight standing stones.
Local folklore connects the name Trippet to a tale of girls who were turned into stone as punishment for dancing on a Saturday.
The archaeological site stands near a minor road on Manor Common in Blisland, approximately 9 kilometers northeast of the town of Bodmin.
The stones feature specific alignments with nearby Stripple stones and the Leaze circle, indicating possible astronomical connections in their placement.
