Stannon
Stone Circle
SX 126 800
It is quite complicated
reaching this site so a map is essential to navigate the narrow lanes.
However from St Breward head north on the lane that goes through the
village passing the church. After ½ mile or so you come to a sharp bend.
Turn right here then left after ¼ mile. Carry on along this lane for
about 1.5 miles to the China Clay works at Stannon where there is room to
park. The circle is on the hillside to the south of the track.

This is a large circle of about 43 by 40 metres. Most of the stones are small, the tallest 1.1m (3 feet 9 inches) to the south. The site is between two settlement areas, one of which you walk through on the way to Fernacre circle.
