Knock Stone Circle
Date Added: 4th Apr 2012
Site Type: Modern Stone Circle etc
Country: Scotland (West Lothian)
Visited: Yes on 12th Mar 2011
Knock Stone Circle submitted by Andy B on 12th Mar 2011. The stones themselves are ancient, and with their lichen-covered appearance seem to have been here in this archaeology-rich countryside since time immemorial. But appearances are deceptive. These two concentric cicles of standing stones (comprising 50 massive stones in all, with one horizontal stone supported on three vertical ones at the centre of the circles) were erected here, not by neolithic ancestors of ours, but as recently as 1998 by the son of a local farmer who built it as a 50th birth...

The shaft of Petre's cross at Western Whitebarrow. The tip of Red Lake is in the background. The rocks are part of a crude shelter built into the ancient barrow by 19th century peat workers. This is a very exposed place and in bad weather would be a grim place to stay.
