Description
The Nine Stones is a fascinating prehistoric stone circle located in the picturesque Winterbourne Abbas valley in Dorset. It consists of nine irregularly spaced megaliths, the two largest of which reach heights of over 2 meters.
The circle is about 9 meters in diameter and is surrounded by beautiful natural scenery. According to local legends, the stones are fossilized dancers or children who were turned to stone by the devil.
The site is especially prized by lovers of history and spirituality - local druids still perform their religious ceremonies here, highlighting the mystical nature of this ancient monument from the Neolithic and Bronze Age.
