A single stone, heavily cup marked and also cross incised. Rumoured to have come from the now destroyed Sunkenkirk circle (also known as Holywell).

Not visited since 1967, and even then there were only two fallen stones (flankers?) to be seen. Missing from the OS map, I’ve a feeling that a visit may require changing this site to ‘destroyed’.
A single stone, thought to be the last remnant of a possible 4 poster circle.
Surveyed in 1771 as a 6 stone circle, only 1 was left when surveyed in 1964. Sadly, this has now fallen & been broken into 3 pieces. Notable for the 22 cup-marks recorded on it.
This site consists of the two remaining stones of a 5 stone circle, together with a relocated Pictish stone. Destroyed in antiquity, and further ‘enhanced’ by being surrounded by a housing state and partially restored, this site can be found by following the signs to the ‘Brandsbutt Stone’.
Visible from the A96, a solitary standing stone in an embanked circle is all that remains. It is thought that this may be part of the Broomend of Crichie complex.
Remains of a stone circle near Kintore. Only one stone is earthfast, some possible fallen stones may be seen.

Around 1868, a cist containing human remains was found on the slope of Cairnlea. No further notes are recorded.
No trace of this cairn remains.
When last surveyed in 1973, all that remained was the recumbent, partly covered by the stones of the circle/field clearance piled on top. One of these stones is cup marked.
The small recumbent and single flanker are all that remain of this ruinous circle.
A single standing stone 4 feet high, it is not known whether this was ever part of a circle.
This site is now completely destroyed. Standing between Old Keig and Druidsfield circles, this site was reported to have a small causeway leading to it. All is now lost.
Only the recumbent remains (barely) upright, but most of the circle stones can be seen on the ground.
