At the southern end of Upper Erme stone row, Kiss-in-the-Ring stone circle is a long desolate walk from anywhere. It’s well worth the effort, though. The tallest stone in this 16–17m (52ft 6in–56ft) circle is 1.5m (5ft 3in) high and most are less than 1m (3ft 2in) tall. There are 26 stones, but, as at all the best circles, it’s hard to count them and you may come up with a different result! The stones are unevenly spaced, with more on the western side, but none is thought to be missing. There’s a low barrow in the centre. The views south over the Erme valley are lovely, and the four large stones (the Cornwood Maidens) at the northern end of Stalldon row can clearly be seen, as can the Upper Erme row.
