Coles thought this to be the recumbent of an otherwise destroyed stone circle. When last visited in 1965, a stone wedge under the boulder would seem to support this (arf).

This is now thought ot have been a hut circle. No trace remains.

Now thought to have been the remains of a hut circle or souterrain, no trace remains.

The recumbent and flanker remain. Both over 2m high.

A huge stone, 8 feet high and 9 feet long is thought to be the last remnant of a long destroyed circle. It is thought that this site was one of a series encircling the Hill of Drachlaw.

Only the recumbent remains of a reported 4 stones.

The cup-marked recmbent and two other stones were all that remained of this circle when visited by the OS in 1968. No records since.

Two stones remain of an RSC. One 3m high, the other 2.5, Coles thought it was the recumbent and one flanker.

This circle was completely destroyed in 1847. The cretinous farmer reported finding a causeway of paved stones leading up to the site of the circle.

No trace now remains.

One stone remains standing of a circle destroyed c1876. Some of the cleared stones may be seen lying nearby.

Two tall stones (2m & 3m) are all that remain of this circle. From the RCAHMS photos they could well be the flankers. Some Pictish symbols are barely visible on one stone.

Three standing stones remain of a nine stone circle. One has been incised with a cross.

The flanking stones remain upright, with two others fallen. Other fallen stones visible in the 1960’s are now gone.

Lots in this area, including a possible souterrain. Well worth searching the database further.

A recumbent and flanker built into a farm wall is all that remains of this RSC.

The last remnant of a Stone Circle? Keiller thought it to be a flanker, and reported that when the field was cleared, approx 8 fallen stones arranged in a circle around it were also removed. Photo online.

The remains of a recumbent stone circle, with some photographs from 1902.

Apparently a lone standing stone, which may or may not be the remains of a circle. One image available.

‘The Dover Bronze Age Boat’, said to be the world’s oldest known sea-going boat.

Explanations, photos and diagrams of how the boat was constructed, how it was excavated, and how it was conserved. Basic but nice. Perhaps a trip to the museum to see the boat in person is in order..
