Cairnfauld
Cairnfauld submitted by cosmic : Cairnfauld at NO754941 is a barely recognisable circle with only three obvious stones. Burl claims that there are four but I could not see it. The site was subject to desecration by the then current farmer in the C19th but the present incumbent welcomed me and advised the best route was up the track between the farm buildings.

Cairnfauld submitted by hamish : The three remaining stones of this recumbent circle. The farmer showed me two displaced stones and also told me he gets regular visits from a lady who checks that the stones are ok. (Vote or comment on this photo)
