MDunbar visited on 16th Jul 2013 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 3 Appears as a large circle of small stones with the area dotted with small cairns. About a 40 minute walk from the farmhouse
A dilapidated Neolithic Stone Circle of diameter c.26m, with only 6 stones visible.
For more information see Canmore site no. 63017 which describes this stone circle as: "Five stones remain in situ, two others are prostrate and a group of boulders marks the site of another. The stones are middle-sized boulders, 2' 8" in maximum height, set with their broad faces on the line of the circumference. Adjacent lie a number of similar stones, probably other members moved."
