Tregeseal East Stone Circle

The Tregeseal East stone circle is a heavily restored prehistoric stone circle around one mile northeast of the town of St Just in Cornwall [1]. The 19 granite stones are also known as The Dancing Stones [1]. The stone circle is in west Cornwall north of the road from Penzance to St Just in Penwith and is approximately one kilometer east of the hamlet of Tregeseal [1]. The stone circle consists of 19 granite blocks with a height between 1–1.4 m, which describe an approximate circle with a diameter of around 21 m [1]. The stone circle was subjected over the centuries to substantial rebuilding and restoration work, so that today only the stones in the eastern half of the circle may be in their original positions [1]. The earliest known modern description appears in 1754 in Antiquities, Historical and Monumental, of the County of Cornwall by the Cornish antiquarian William Borlase [1]. Borlase recorded 17 upright stones arranged in a circular form on the hillside south of Carn Kenidjack [1].
