This is an incomplete photographic list of [[stone circle]]s.

==Australia==
See also [[Aboriginal stone arrangement]]
Stone circles in Australia are sometimes revered as sacred sites by Australian Aboriginal people's. While often small, there are some large stones comparable to their European counterparts, particularly in Victoria. While some are small and not well attended, others are well-known, for instance the stone arrangements in Victoria at [[Carisbrook stone arrangement|Carisbrook]] and [[Lake Bolac stone arrangement|Lake Bolac]].<ref>Long, A. & Schell, P., 1999, Lake Bolac stone arrangement (AAV 7422-394); management plan. An unpublished report to Aboriginal Affairs Victoria.</ref>

==Britain, Ireland, the Channel Islands and Brittany (France) ==
[[Aubrey Burl]]'s gazetteer lists 1,303 stone circles in Britain, Ireland and Brittany ( France). Most of these are found in Scotland, with 508 sites recorded. There are 343 on the island of Ireland; 316 in England;  81 in Wales; 49 in Brittany (France); and 6 in the Channel Isles.<ref>{{Cite book|title = The Stone Circles of Britain, Ireland and Brittany|last = Aubrey|first = Burl|publisher = Yale University Press|year = 2000|isbn = 978-0300083477|location = New Haven; London|pages = 395|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=cL5KcoqiOnoC&q=The%20Stone%20Circles%20of%20Britain%2C%20Ireland%20and%20Brittany&pg=PA395}}</ref>

===Channel Islands===
Aubrey Burl records six sites in the [[Channel Islands]], four on [[Guernsey]] and two on [[Jersey]]. All six are Cist-in-Circle monuments, which are influenced by chambered tomb design. Their relationship with the stone circle tradition of Britain, Ireland and Brittany is unclear.<ref>{{Cite book|title = The Stone Circles of Britain, Ireland and Brittany|last = Burl|first = Aubrey|publisher = Yale University Press|year = 2000|isbn = 978-0300083477|location = New Haven; London|pages = [https://archive.org/details/stonecirclesofbr0000burl/page/403 403]|url = https://archive.org/details/stonecirclesofbr0000burl|url-access = registration|quote = The Stone Circles of Britain, Ireland and Brittany.}}</ref>

{{main|Ōyu Stone Circles}}

The Ōyu Stone Circles (大湯環状列石 Ōyu Kanjyō Resseki) is a late [[Jōmon period]] (approx. 2,000 – 1,500 BC) archaeological site in the city of [[Kazuno, Akita|Kazuno]], [[Akita Prefecture]], in the [[Tōhoku region]] of northern Japan. The site consists of two large stone circles located on an artificially flattened plateau on the left bank of the Oyu River, a tributary of the [[Yoneshiro River]] in northeastern Akita Prefecture. The site was discovered in 1931, with detailed archaeological excavations taking place in 1946, and in 1951–1952.

The larger circle, named the “Manza” circle has a diameter of 46 meters, and is the largest stone circle found in Japan. A number of reconstructions of Jomon period dwellings have been built around the site. The slightly smaller circle, named the “Nonakado” circle, is 42 meters in diameter and is located around 90 meters away, separated from the “Manza” circle by Akita Prefectural Route 66. Each circle is made from rounded river stones brought from another river approximately 7 kilometers away. Each circle in concentric, with and inner and an outer ring separated by an open strip approximately 8 meters wide.<ref>{{cite book|last=Naumann|first=Nelly|title=Japanese Prehistory: The Material and Spiritual Culture of the Jōmon Period|series=Asien-und Afrika-Studien der Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin (Book 6)|year=2000|publisher=Harrassowitz Verlag |isbn=3447043296|pages=36–37}}</ref> Each circle contains smaller clusters of stone, including standing stones surrounded by elongated stones in a radiating orientation, forming a sundial which points toward the sunset on the summer solstice and allows for calculation of the winter solstice, the vernal equinox and the sun's movements.<ref>{{cite book|last=Habu|first=Junko|title=Ancient Jomon of Japan|year=2000|publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn= 0521776708 |page=184}}</ref>

Each circle is surrounded by the remains of buildings, storage pits and garbage dumps, and clay figurines, clayware and stoneware (including everyday pottery), stone swords and objects have been discovered. Although the form of the stone circles made have been based on the shape of circular settlements, there is no indication of permanent settlement on the site.

The site has been submitted for inscription on the [[World Heritage Site|UNESCO World Heritage List]] as one of the [[Jōmon Archaeological Sites in Hokkaidō, Northern Tōhoku, and other regions]].
