Easter Aquhorthies Stone Circle

About Easter Aquhorthies Stone Circle

Its almost perfectly circular plan places Easter Aquhorthies Stone Circle early in the series of Recumbent Stone Circles. It is 19.5 m in diameter and consists of 9 erect stones, the red granite recumbent, 2 grey granite flankers plus 2 massive blocks which form a reserved area in front of the recumbent. The West flanker has 4 cup marks on it. The differences between this recumbent with its flankers and the other circle stones can be seen clearly in terms of their geological origin. Limited on site parking - road and parking area not suitable for coaches or buses.
