Yellowmead Down

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yellowmead Down near Sheepstor in Devon is a Bronze Age concentric stone circle consisting of four rings of stones set within one another. The largest is 20m wide and the smallest, 6m.

They once encircled a burial cairn although this is now barely visible. To the south west, a stone row leads away, crossed by a post-medieval leat that once served a nearby tinworks.

The site was excavated and restored by Rev. H Breton in 1921.
