Stannon Stone Circle
The Stannon stone circle, situated on the moor to the north of St Breward, has between 64 and 68 stones laid out in an irregular ring. Originally, there may have been as many as 82 stones. The circle is thought to have had a calendric function, as there is a convincing astronomical alignment from Stannon to Rough Tor and Brown Willy. Around May Day and Lammas time, the sun rises through the gap between the two summits of the tor. At the Equinoxes, the sun rises over the summit of Brown Willy.
