Hi working up in Aberdeen I recently saw some large rocks in a field but have been unable to locate them on the Portal. I'm not sure if they are a new site as they are to put it bluntly , Big and cant believe thieve been missed by members of the portal. They could be galcial eratics although they look as it they stand on smaller rocks. I couldn't get very close to check them out as the field was in crop. Their location is just south of Monymusk and to the west of Kirktown wood and east of the Tombeg stone. The grid ref is NJ 684144. I have some Photos and Ill try and post them on my page as Unknown. Any info will be most gratefully recieved. Matt.

I'd just amended my message as you posted that David, I think there may be more in the field.
