Ancient ritual stone circle on Bodmin Moor

The Nine Stones stone circle, situated on the East Moor portion of Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, England, comprises eight upright granite slabs arranged in a near-circular formation that measures approximately 15 meters in diameter. The slabs, sourced from local granite, vary in height from 1 meter to 1.3 meters, with widths up to 1.05 meters and thicknesses up to 0.35 meters. Eight stones remain standing at the site, as it was restored in 1889, when only two were found standing.

The slabs' surfaces are rough and unhewn, exhibiting significant erosion and weathering consistent with exposure on Bodmin Moor. The Nine Stones stone circle is situated on the East Moor portion of Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, England, at coordinates. It lies approximately 3 km south-southeast of the village of Altarnun, about 11 km west of Launceston, and is positioned on the lower northwest slope of Ridge Hill. The center stone may have been moved from the north part of the circle.

Alexander Thom's proposal of a lunar alignment with a nearby stone row is doubtful, as the row is likely of medieval construction.
