Brisworthy Stone Circle

Brisworthy stone circle is a stone circle on Dartmoor, Devon [1]. It is located three miles east of the A386, northeast of the village of Shaugh Prior [1]. It is three hundred metres from Ringmoor stone row and cairn circle, and is one of the archaeological sites found in the Upper Plym Valley [1]. The stone circle is a slight oval shape with a diameter of around 24 metres [1]. It consists of 24 upright stones which are probably only half the original number [1]. The stones are broad rather than tall, and are less than 1 metre tall [1]. Prior to 1909 most of the stones had fallen [1]. It was restored in that year, and a trial excavation is said to have yielded a small amount of charcoal and one rough flint flake [1].
