Broomend of Crichie Avenue
Date Added: 9th Jan 2019
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: Scotland (Aberdeenshire)
Visited: Yes on 21st Sep 2014. My rating: Condition 1 Ambience 2 Access 5
Broomend of Crichie Avenue submitted by golux on 13th Jan 2012. Once there were two stone circles here, joined to one another by an avenue of paired monoliths. Of this double row or "avenue" of maybe 80 stones, only 4 survive.
According to Maitland and other authorities a double line of stones about 18m apart extended from a point 450 yards south of the circle, where a number of cist burials were discovered, up to the circle and then on to a second circle (Broomend of Crichie North circle), an overall length of about 500 yards.

Broomend Of Crichie Stone Circle / Henge submitted by golux on 8th Jan 2012. View looking S across the henge to stone A in the middle distance; the ditch running horizontally across the middle of the picture is the disproportionally large boundary ditch of the henge. This ditch has breaks on the S and N sides where the "avenue" passes through (the N break is partly visible above the rightmost stone) and was originally surrounded and screened from view by a high narrow outer bank. According to Bradley (2006), the entire earthwork was unstable and that the bank collapsed ...

There has been considerable confusion regarding this site over the years. Robert Knox describing the site in 1855 saw the two large stones as forming part of a double alignment than ran north to south with a further pair of stones (now destroyed) 110 yards further to north. A few years earlier in 1852 Samuel Anderson who excavated Swarth Howe claimed that the stones formed remains of a single row that extended between Swarth Howe and the cairn at NZ 84173 08932. The two additional stones found during fieldwork may lend some support to Anderson's interpretation, although both are of uncertain authenticity. On balance Anderson's interpretation is probably the more valid, but given the degree of uncertainty this row should be best considered as possible at best.

There is a slight chance that this represents the marking out for a cross dyke, but the fact that only a very short length of ditch survives means that it is much more likely to represent a stone row.
