Canmore say:

There is a possible stone circle on the E side of the broch at Clachtoll. About 2/3 of a circle are marked out by 8 stones. The circle is cut E-W by a dyke, leaving 2 protrate stones on the N side, while two consecutive stones to the S show only at ground level. The remaining 4 are squat boulders c. 1.0m high. Spacing is even and the diameter is 12.0m. A massive rock occupies the centre, 3.0m square at the base and c. 2.0m high.
Information contained in Letter from T C Welsh, 4 July 1971.

The circle is incomplete, and corresponding stones are evident in the structure of the dyke.
T C Welsh 1971.

A fortuitous natural arrangement.

This Stone Circle is actually the stones which have fallen off Clachtoll broch, which is now about 4meters high, from it's original 10meters.
I visit most years around the summer solstice and will post a picture of the broch when I return.
