  Tregeseal East is a late Neolithic or early Bronze Age stone circle. Also known as the Dancing Stones, Tregeseal East is all that the remains of what were definitely a pair, or perhaps even three, adjacent circles below Carn Kenidjack.
The remaining eastern circle has 19 stones ranging in height from just over two feet to almost five feet in a fairly good circle about 70 feet in diameter. Several other stones of similar shape and size lay about alongside in places.
The circle stands within a complex ritual landscape. The remains of a Bronze Age barrow cemetery stands between the circle and Carn Kenidjack and to the east in rough alignment to the circle are four, possibly five, holed stones that may be part of a stone row.
