I'm confident they are natural .
So the stone was perhaps selected, do you think? Its some coincidence that they are located where the moonset can be viewed. (But then again, obviously not visible if observing from the centre of the circle)
Possibly the reason it was chosen . The main thing about Cothiemuir and most other recumbents is that the low summer moon can be seen to move between the flankers as seen from (roughly ) the centre of the circle .
If you move a bit from the centre in any direction the phenomenon will still be much the same . It's the recumbent as a whole that is the "screen" and a small unseen spot on the outside of the recumbent has no impact orientationwise .
