Update November 2019: This stone circle is recorded as Canmore ID 6716 (Learable Hill) and as MHG9517 (Stone Circle, Learable Hill) on the Highland HER.
Canmore tells us: "This elliptical stone circle lies on level ground some 90m WNW of the standing stone, which occupies the brow of the SE spur of Learable Hill, in an area much encumbered by small cairns; it measures 20m from NE to SW by 17.5m transversely. Seven upright stones were located, none above 0.5m in height, and there was at least one recumbent stone, which may have been part of the circle. A small cairn occupies the centre of the circle".
For more information about this complex of stone rows, stone circle, standing stone and a cairn, see 'nearby sites' below, and The Stone Rows of Great Britain's entries for Learable Hill Stone Rows, all of which include photographs and a plan of the monuments in the immediate area:
Learable Hill, Row 1;
