This is a lovely recumbent stone circle, situated on the false crest of a hill just outside Inverurie in Aberdeenshire.
One of the stones is made of stunning red jasper and there is a 'reserved' area in front of the recumbent, delineated by two huge slabs which stick out from it, pointing towards the centre of the circle.
A very interesting circle which warrants much more study.
Note: Something new: a great set of recent photos.

Much is said about the composition of the pink stone at East Aquorthies but I've not been able to find out exactly what it's made from. It's often referred to as Red Jasper or Rose Quartz and less commonly Porphyry. The crystal laid on it for colour-comparison is six and a half inch long haemetite quartz which has itself a delicate pinky-peachy hue.
Note to self, next time you go, take some unpol

The recumbent stone. This site is located at East Aquorthies which is the circle's alternative name. I visited it in October 2002 during a stop over on flights between Orkney and Leeds when I found I had a few hours to race around these lovely Aberdeenshire circles (that's between circles not around each one!!). A very worthwhile stop over.

This is one of my favourite shots of one of my favourite places Easter Aquorthies, recumbant stone circle in Aberdeenshire. It was taken very early in the morning with a very low sun casting long shadows and clear contrasts that have given life to this megalith of glowing red jasper.
