Legendary
Legendary stories aside, this stone circle stands beneath Belstone Tor in the moorland hill landscape of Dartmoor National Park. It is a cairn circle, or kerbed circle, that would have surrounded a central burial cist known on Dartmoor as a kistvaen.
Various legends or folk lore are attributed to this circle but they revolve around the idea of people having been turned to stone for dancing on a Sunday. No doubt stories told by those who wanted to frighten others to control them in order to strengthen their own position of power in society. Nothing much changes!!
