Stone Circle in Dumfries and Galloway

This stone circle can be found off a lane which runs SW of the A713 just north of Carsphairn. it can be clearly seen from this lane just to the left of a large hump (which Burl categorises as a drumlin).

For more information see Canmore ID 63878 which adds: "This setting of 13 stones cannot be classified with any certainty. The stones, as stated, vary greatly in size and shape and though all appear artificially placed they rest without any apparent regard for grading, orientation or visual effect. No socket depressions are evident ..... (the plan) bears little relation to the present setting which forms a crude oval measuring 24.0m N-S by 20.0m E-W."

A separate outlier is recorded separately. See the 'nearby' sites below.
