Stone Circle in Angus
This now destroyed Bronze Age/Neolithic stone circle is recorded as Canmore ID 31855, which tells us: "South of Templelands stood a stone circle which was removed during excavations for railway purposes."
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) also features a page for this site - see their entry for Templelands, Auchterhouse, Angus. TNA has sourced an 1888 reference from Mason Inglis: "Mr Inglis told, 'South of the Templelands another group of these mysterious circular stone relics of pagan times at one time stood, and was also held in much regard, and recognized as an ancient place of worship. This group, however, unfortunately was demolished during excavations for railway purposes'.”
