has glosseng: A stone circle is an ancient monument of standing stones. It is not always precisely circular, often forming an ellipse, or more rarely a setting of four stones laid on an arc of a circle. The size and number of stones in a circle varies from example to example. More than 1,000 stone circles have been catalogued for the British Isles and parts of Western Europe, mostly lying not more than 100 miles from the sea. Erected thousands of years ago, their purpose is still something of a mystery.

has glosshbs: Kameni krug je naziv za površinu kružnog obliku, obrubljenu s neparnim brojem uzdignutih stijena, te koje najčešće sadrže grobne jame ili komore. Kameni krugovi najčešće datiraju iz britanskog kasnog neolita / ranog brončanog doba, tj. cca. 3000-1500 pne. . Arheološki dokazi, zajedno s podacima vezanim uz astronomiju, geologiju i matematiku sugerira kako je svrha izgrdanje kamenih krugova bila vezana uz vjerovanja prahistorijskih ljudi, a njihova izgradnja može dati neke podatke o drevnom inženjerstvu, društvenoj organizaciji i religiji. Njihova je točna funkcija, međutim, nepoznata, i vjerojatno će uvijek biti predmetom rasprava.
