Doll Tor is a stone circle situated just west of Stanton Moor near Birchover, Derbyshire, England [1]. Built during the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Ages, between 3300 and 900 BCE, it belongs to a widespread tradition of stone circle construction that extended across Britain, Ireland, and Brittany [1]. The purpose of such monuments remains unknown, though archaeologists speculate the stones may have represented supernatural entities for the circles' builders [1].
