The Trippet stones or Trippet stones circle is a stone circle located on Manor Common in Blisland, 9 kilometres north northeast of Bodmin on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, UK. The Stripple stones are nearby.
The circle is situated on nearly level ground and has a diameter of 104.6 feet . It is made of eight upright granite stones with four others that have fallen. The stones are spaced on average around 12 feet apart, the highest measuring 5.2 feet . The fallen stones are 6.8 feet and 5.2 feet long. William Lukis suggested there may originally have been as many as twenty-six menhirs that suffered at the hands of stone-breakers. Aubrey Burl suggested twenty eight, set up on opposite facing pairs and suggests the name represents the folklore belief that the stones were girls punished for tripping lightly on Sabbath.
