List of stone circles : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of stone circles A stone circle is a monument of stones arranged in a circle or ellipse. Such monuments have been constructed in many parts of the world throughout history for many different reasons. The best known tradition of stone circle construction occurred across the British Isles and Brittany in the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age, with over 1000 surviving examples, including Avebury, the Ring of Brodgar and Stonehenge. Another prehistoric tradition occurred in southern Scandinavia during the Iron Age, where stone circles were built to be mortuary monuments to the dead. Outside of Europe, examples of stone circles include the 6300~6900 BCE Atlit Yam in Israel and 3000~4000 BCE Gilgal Refaim nearby, and the Bronze Age monuments in Hong Kong. Stone circles also exist in a megalithic tradition located in Senegal and the Gambia.〔http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF01118143〕 〔http://www.jstor.org/stable/2843758?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents〕 This is an incomplete photographic list of these stone circles. ==Britain, Ireland and Brittany== Aubrey Burl's gazetteer lists 1,303 stone circles in Britain, Ireland and Brittany.
