| Gletna W | Stone Circle | Scotland | Shetland | Visited | 24th Jun 2014 | 3 | 5 | A not fully circular and not fully closed "circle" of very low stones, about 50m in diameter, marked on Ordnance Survey maps by a dished line -- see e.g. the map at the Canmore site no. 63, the remains of Gletna Kirk. Note that the map shows some 250 m South a similar, somewhat larger, round structure (did not visit that site).
All it all is seems very unlikely that this is a prehistoric stone circle, hence the "condition" is marked as "unknown"... Read More |

| Loch Of Strom | Stone Circle | Scotland | Shetland | Visited | 23rd Jun 2014 | 2 | 3 | 5 | The central feature is thought to be an elliptic stone circle of 5m by 4.1m by A. Thom and R.L. Merritt (JHA vol. 9, 1978, p. 60); see the site map. There 8 stones still standing, one of which is 1.2m tall, the rest less than 0.6m; 4 stones are marked as fallen. Given that there are more stones close to this central feature, it seems more likely to be a field system of some sort. |
