Kingston Russell is the largest surviving stone circle in Dorset.
The stones are arranged in an oval with a diameter measuring from 24 by 27 metres (79 by 89 feet).

The ring consists of eighteen stones, the longest of which are located at the north of the circle.
 As of 1939, all the stones were lying on the ground, although there is a record that in 1815 one stone on the southern side was still standing upright.
The Piggotts suggested that while the circle retained its full number of original megaliths, some of them might have been moved from their original positions.
It is possible that the ring was graded in height, with the tallest stones being located on the north.

The stones are made of sarsen or conglomerate.

Some of the stones are broken, and it is impossible to tell which fragments are bases and which were originally upper parts.
The stones vary in size from 2 metres by 0.5 metres (7 feet by 1.6 feet) to 1 metre by 0.3 metres (3 feet by 1 foot).

In 1980, it was stated that a stone was "supposed" to have been added to the circle "in recent years".

The antiquarian John Hutchins mentioned the circle in his 1774 work The History and Antiquities of Dorset.
Influenced by the ideas of fellow antiquarian William Stukeley, Hutchins described the Kingston Russell ring as a "druidical circle", thereby attributing its creation to the Iron Age druids.
As of 2003, the site had not been excavated by archaeologists or extensively studied.
The site is on privately owned land although is accessible to the public.
