Tregeseal East stone circle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tregeseal East (grid reference SW387324) is a heavily restored prehistoric stone circle around one mile northeast of the town of St Just in the Penwith district of Cornwall, United Kingdom. The nineteen granite stones are also known as The Dancing Stones. It is the one surviving circle of three that once stood aligned along an east-west axis on the hillside to the south of Carn Kenidjack.
