The stones in this lovely circle are taller than average for circles in
Cornwall. Only eight stones remain 
of what were probably twenty-eight in a circle 33m (108 feet) in
diameter. They range in height between 1.2m (4 feet) and 1.6 (5 feet 2 inches), and are
quite even-spaced at 3.7m (12-foot) intervals around the perimeter of the circle. The name
Trippet derives from the common belief that the stones are the petrified bodies of girls
who were punished for dancing on the Sabbath. Another stone circle, the Stripple Stones, is barely visible along the horizon to the ENE, but
the opposite is not possible.
Access:
Just off the A30 on road towards St Breward, not far beyond Jamaica Inn. The Trippett
Stones are visible from the road, and the Stripple Stones are 1km
further on to the ENE.
