Re: Balgarthno by DrewParsons on Sunday, 28 October 2012

Additional Information supplied by Drew Parsons in September 2012: Dating from between 5300 and 4500 years ago, this is the southernmost example of a recumbent Stone Circle in Tayside. The site sign describes it as having one non-recumbent stone with the original nine boulders remaining although damaged by weather and vandalism (the latter being the reason for the surrounding fence nowadays, although the gate was not locked in September 2012 permitting access to the circle). Jade fragments and flints have been recovered from this site and are in the National Museum of Scotland.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
