Kingston Russell Stone Circle

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A stone circle dating to the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age. The circle is composed of 18 stones, all fallen. The location is wonderful; the stone circle is set on a chalk hill top overlooking the sea and nearby Abbotsbury village.

The circle is 30 metres in diameter. The height of the stones varies from 1 to 2 metres. This is an open access site, though a bit awkward to get to. The site is 750 metres north east of Gorwell Farm.
Abbotsbury, Dorset, England
