Whitehill Stone Circle submitted by cosmic on 4th Apr 2004. Whitehill in Aberdeenshire at NJ 643135 is Graded as ruined but recogniseable but still appears in his Guide to Stone Circles.
Recently the surrounding wood has been harvested so it can be seenin context.
Only the West flanker (about 8 fett tall) and a stone in the NW corner are still standing but the general shape is obvious from the fallen stones and the cairn inside.
