Sherberton stone circle 315m SSE of Little Sherberton

Devon

Sherberton stone circle is a Bronze Age monument standing on the open moorland south of Little Sherberton. Like many of Dartmoor's stone circles, it marks a significant gathering or ritual site from the second millennium BC, when the moor was more densely settled and worked than it is today.

The circle sits within the wider landscape of prehistoric Dartmoor, surrounded by cairns, settlements and other monuments that speak to the lives of Bronze Age communities. A visit here offers a sense of how these ancient people shaped and understood their environment, and how the moor itself has held these stones through thousands of years of change.
