Kingston Russell Stone Circle, also known as the Gorwell Circle, is a stone circle located between the villages of Abbotsbury and Littlebredy in the south-western English county of Dorset. Archaeologists believe that it was likely erected during the Bronze Age. The Kingston Russell ring is part of a tradition of stone circle construction that spread throughout much of Britain, Ireland, and Brittany during the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age, over a period between 3,300 and 900 BCE. The purpose of such monuments is unknown, although archaeologists speculate that they were likely religious sites, with the stones perhaps having supernatural associations for those who built the circles.

  • Der Steinkreis von Kingston Russell (auch als Gorwell Circle bekannt) ist ein Steinkreis, der auf einem Kreiderücken zwischen den Dörfern Abbotsbury und Littlebredy in Dorset in England liegt und wahrscheinlich während der Bronzezeit errichtet wurde. Der Kingston-Russell-Kreis ist Teil einer Steinkreistradition, die sich während der späten Jungsteinzeit und der frühen Bronzezeit (3300 bis 900 v. Chr.) vor allem in Teilen der Britischen Inseln und der Bretagne ausbreitete. Der Zweck der Monumente ist unbekannt, obwohl Archäologen sie für religiöse Stätten halten. (de)
