Stone Circle in Aberdeenshire
There are three stones set in a triangular location, Canmore 19396 refers to two stones from one circle and one from another, they can be found in the second field from the road, I visited just after harvest so parked in the first field and walked to the second, access when field is planted could be difficult.
