markj99 visited on 5th Nov 2018 - their rating: Access: 3 While visiting the Cauldside Burn Cairn North I looked for the two stones first using GPS, then by grid searching the area S of the cairn. This was difficult due to tussocks of heather and uneven ground. I found no substantial stones in a 30 yards by 30 yards area.
This Neolithic/Bronze Age stone setting is recorded as Canmore ID 63682 which tells us that 30ft south of a cairn, there are two standing stones, thought in 1895 to be part of a stone circle. One of the stones was upright whilst the other was tilted and sunk in peat.
In 1977, these stones were recorded as being 10.6m apart, the northern most stone 0.3m high, the other almost recumbent and sunk in half a metre of peat. The Canmore entry from 1977 continues that there is no evidence these were ever part of a stone circle, but do lie between the centres of two cairns at NX 5290 5725 and NX 5294 5714.
