Recumbent Stone Circle in Aberdeenshire. Originally identified as a Roundhouse or Ring Cairn excavation showed it to have been a stone circle. Excavation was possible after the area had been clear felled in the early 2010's.
Unfortunately a new planation has now been established on the site. I was unable to actually locate the site - I could have walked within five yards of it and not seen any evidence of it.
A report on the excation can be found here
