Brandsbutt stone circle submitted by TheCaptain : A circle is marked out on the green where the original circle was thought to be, and there are a couple of the remaining stones positioned within the border at the edge of the green. (Vote or comment on this photo)
This site is slightly confusing as it comprises a relocated Pictish Stone and the "remains"/outline of a stone circle marked out by cobbles within a green on a modern housing estate.

A circle is marked out on the green where the original circle was thought to be, and there are a couple of the remaining stones positioned within the border at the edge of the green.

The carved Pictish stone is positioned just to the west, and has been recreated from several broken pieces. There are many more bits of stone positioned nearby.
