Kingston Russell Stone Circle

Kingston Russell Stone Circle

Stonehenge isn't the only stone circle in England - although it may be the most impressive. This is the Kingston Russell Stone Circle, located between Abbotsbury and Little Bredy, Dorset.

The circle has 18 stones, originally all upright, and was built about 4,000 years ago. The circle may have been used by a local farming community for secular and religious ceremonies.

The high ridge where the circle is located was already a focus for local rituals a thousand years before the circle was built. One kilometer to the south east of this location is the Grey Mare and her Colts - a much older burial shrine.
