Nine Maidens stone circle, Bronze Age stone circle in Belstone, England
The stone circle contains sixteen standing stones arranged in a circular formation with a diameter of seven meters at an elevated position in Dartmoor.
Constructed during the Bronze Age period, this burial site originally featured a central mound that reached the same height as the surrounding stones.
Local narratives tell of stones that move and dance at noon, making it impossible for visitors to count the exact number of stones in the circle.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site by parking at the eastern edge of Belstone village and following the marked path toward the moorland.
The stone circle connects to the St Michael ley line, which aligns with the sunrise on May 8th and links to other St Michael sites across southern England.
