What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Down Ridge stone circle and outlying standing stone 570m and 650m south of Forest Inn as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
This stone circle and outlying standing stone are likely from the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, periods when such monuments were commonly constructed for ritual or ceremonial purposes. Their alignment and positioning may have had astronomical or seasonal significance, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
