fire circle

Outdoor flame gathering

A fire circle is a ring of stones or other material arranged to contain a campfire, preventing it from spreading and providing a gathering spot.

The term also describes a group activity where people sit in a circle around a fire, often for storytelling, singing, or ceremonial purposes: We ended the retreat with a fire circle under the stars.
