Rempstone Stone Circle is a stone circle near to Corfe Castle on the Isle of Purbeck in the south-western English county of Dorset [1]. Archaeologists believe that it was likely erected during the Bronze Age [1]. The southern half of the circle has been destroyed, with five upright and three recumbent stones remaining extant [1]. In 1957, a possible avenue of stones leading to the circle was discovered by ploughing but subsequently removed [1]. The incomplete stone circle lies in a dense wood just to the south of the B3351 road, 4 kilometres east of Corfe Castle and 5 kilometres west of Studland [1]. The stones are sandstone boulders which geologically belong to the Bagshot Beds, on which the circle is located [1].
