Canmore calls it a stone circle:

What do you think?
Thanks go to Thelonius for hunting it down and posting it.


How strange and lovely, a departure from what I think of as a stone circle. I accept that it is though - the central stone is 1.5m tall according to Canmore so bigger than it looks in the photo. It looks like a burial place to me.

The smallest stone circle I've personally seen is Little Meg which was puzzling to say the least, situated as it is in the field next to Long Meg and Her Daughters.


Canmore is, I think, wrong about the height. Central Stone is under 1m tall, unless I've grown a bit recently :)
