Stall Moor circle

Grid ref: SX 6362 6608

On walking routes: Abbot's Way, Two Moors Way

Stall Moor circle and long stone row form a rare paired monument on Dartmoor's upland landscape. The circle itself belongs to the Bronze Age tradition of communal gathering places, while the row of stones extending from it speaks to a different kind of purpose, possibly marking boundaries, routes, or ritual processional ways across the moor. Together they suggest layers of activity and meaning across prehistory.

Today the stones stand in open moorland where the landscape has changed little in millennia. A walk here connects you directly to Bronze Age Dartmoor, where these monuments anchored communities in an otherwise unmarked terrain. The site sits within a wider constellation of circles and rows that dot the moor, each offering a window into how its ancient inhabitants understood and shaped their world.
