Raes Of Clune submitted by Suncircle49 : 20/06/2019 S1: Aerial view of the RSC and its adjacent Cairn. The site was overgrown with ferns, tall grass and bushes. To visualise the layout of the RSC and the Cairn I have mark-in their rings by matching the illustrated plan view from Canmore. Recumbent’s azimuth 171° (Ruggles 1984).

Raes Of Clune submitted by Suncircle49 : 20/06/2019 S2: a view from the RSC’s centre, showing the recumbent and its flankers. The recumbent’s face has a slight incline, an arc outline defines an indent on its face. It is one of a few RSCs to have both flankers standing. (Vote or comment on this photo)
