Two concentric stone circles on Langstone Moor
Devon
These two concentric stone circles stand on Langstone Moor as a reminder of Bronze Age settlement and ceremony on Dartmoor. The rings are formed by stones set into the moorland turf, creating a striking geometric pattern when viewed from above or walked around. Their exact purpose remains open to interpretation, though such circles often served as gathering places, ritual sites, or territorial markers for the communities that lived on the moor thousands of years ago.
Today the circles sit within the open landscape that has changed little in its essential character since they were built. Visitors walking Langstone Moor will find the stones modest in scale but clear in intent, set against the wider vista of heather, grass, and sky that defines the central moorland. The site speaks to the long human presence on Dartmoor and the enduring patterns of land use across the ages.
