The Sittaford Gate stone circle was discovered by Alan Endacott in 2007. It is located about a kilometer west of the Gray Wethers double stone circle , northwest of Postbridge in Dartmoor in Devon , England .

The newly discovered stone circle has a diameter of about 32.0 m and consists of 30 lying stones. It is believed that the stones in the erected state would be similar to the stones in the circles of Gray Wethers.

There are now eight stone circles on the northeastern edge of Dartmoor, lined up in a sickle or arch shape.
