Stannon stone circle
Stannon stone circle, Stannon circle or Stannon is a stone circle located near St. Breward on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, UK.
==Description==
Stannon takes its name from the nearby farm and is sited between two streams on the gentle slopes of Dinnever Hill, two and a half miles southeast of Camelford. It is overlooked on one side by a massive china clay works that now blights the landscape. The circle's remoteness is part of its charm with only the wild animals of the moor likely to be encountered.
One of the first surveys of the area was carried out in 1906 by the British Association and it is a fine example of a Cornish ring containing 47 upright stones, 30 recumbent and 2 displaced within an impressive by metre circle with four outlying, jagged stones. The stones average size is c and are closely spaces with the largest stone in the group having a base width of over . Like Fernacre, Stannon is an example of Alexander Thom's ''Type A flattened circle'', being noticeably flattened on the north side. The circle dates from either the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age. Aubrey Burl and contended that they may be earlier in date than other circles in the southern area of the moors such as the Stripple stones. John Barnatt suggested this dating and surveyed the site.
