Stannon stone circle (also known as Stannon circle or simply Stannon) is a stone circle located near St. Breward on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, England [1]. The stones average size is around 0.5 metres with the largest stone in the group having a base width of over 1.2 metres [1]. Stannon is an example of Alexander Thom's Type A flattened circle, being noticeably flattened on the north side [1]. When standing in the supposed centre of Stannon Circle, a point between twenty-two and twenty-eight degrees north from east is marked by Rough Tor [1].
