Goodaver Stone Circle stands on a broad ridge at the south west edge of Goodaver Downs, overlooking the upper River Fowey valley on southern Bodmin Moor. It is one of the large regular stone circles of the moor and forms part of a wider prehistoric landscape of cairns, hut circles, and field systems. Its position gives the monument a strong relationship with the surrounding ridge, valley, and open moorland. The circle is laid out as a near circular ring of granite slabs, measuring about 31.5 metres east to west and 32.7 metres north to south. It originally consisted of around 28 stones, spaced at regular intervals of about 3.7 metres. Today, 23 stones remain standing, with gaps marking the positions of missing stones. The stones vary in height from around 0.8 to 1.3 metres, with the tallest placed in the south east and the smallest in the west and north west. One distinctive feature of Goodaver is the slight flattening of the circle on its eastern side. This is also seen in other Bodmin Moor stone circles and may reflect a shared approach to design. The slabs are generally rectangular and would originally have been arranged with their smoother faces turned inward. This suggests a deliberate concern with the experience of the space inside the circle, rather than simply the appearance of the monument from outside. The circle was rediscovered in 1906 by Reverend A. H. Malan, when only three stones remained upright. With help from local farmers, many of the fallen stones were re erected. Later inspection suggests that some were reset upside down, reversed, or slightly out of their original positions. Even so, the reconstruction appears to have broadly followed the original layout and allowed the monument to survive in a recognisable form. Nearby features show that Goodaver was part of a wider Bronze Age landscape. Around 80 metres south west of the circle is a large cairn, roughly 19.5 metres across and 0.7 metres high. Traces of hut circles and field systems also survive in the surrounding area, suggesting settlement and farming close to the ceremonial monument. Despite its reconstruction, Goodaver remains an important example of Bodmin Moor’s prehistoric stone circles, with its regular spacing, graded stones, and landscape setting providing valuable insight into Bronze Age monument building.
