The Whetstones are, or were, a stone circle beneath Corndon Hill in the parish of Church Stoke, Montgomeryshire, Wales, near the border with Shropshire [1]. They lie immediately to the west of the village of White Grit and close to Priestweston [1]. The site is also a short distance from the better-known Hoarstones and Mitchell's Fold circles [1]. No information on the shape of the circle survives [1]. The Reverend C. H. Hartshorne visited the site in 1841, commenting that three stones then remained, all leaning [1]. He referred to these as being "mutilated fragments" of the ring's original appearance [1].
