Hatton Of Ardoyne
Hatton Of Ardoyne submitted by cosmic : View west to Dunnideer. Julian Cope in "The Modern Antiquarian" sees Hatton of Ardoyne as one of the Dunnideer Apostles (Vote or comment on this photo)
Recumbent Stone Circle in Aberdeenshire, with the 2.45m long by 0.3m wide recumbent in the SW. The stones in the southern arc are linked by boulders which is thought to be a field boundary of later date. Within the circle there are traces of a ruined 19.5m diameter kerb, probably the outer kerb of an internal ringcairn
