Ringmoor Down Stone Circle

Ringmoor Down Stone Circle sits on the exposed granite moorland south of Princetown, a modest but genuine Bronze Age monument. The stones are worn smooth by millennia of Dartmoor weather, their arrangement still readable across the turf and heather. This is archaeology as landscape feature—no interpretation boards, no crowds, just the circle and the moor stretching around it.

The location rewards the walk. From here you can see across some of Dartmoor's most open country, and standing at the circle gives a sense of why ancient people chose this high ground for ritual and gathering. The surrounding terrain is typical southern Dartmoor: boggy in places, rocky underfoot, with distant tors marking the horizon.
