Netherton Stone Circle in Aberdeenshire is a well preserved example of a recumbent Stone Circle.

Most of the circle is complete with both flankers upstanding but the circle is in a copse of trees which threaten the integrity of the circle. Outside the circle is bounded by a wall. Access is from the A952 just west of Netherton Farm.

Netherton submitted by Alta-Falisa : Uneasy to photograph : many trees are in the way, which also cast shade on the whole. Besides, all stones circles are always uneasy to capture. (2 comments - Vote or comment on this photo)

i think the only way to visit is via the farm as the nearest road is the A90 and is barb wire fenced. the A952 is 3 miles away so those comments are way off.
