Image of Whitehillocks (Stone Circle) by drewbhoy

Looking to the south of the Hill of Couternach. Sadly if there was a cairn, as well, the road has taken away a fair chunk of it.

Contenders for kerbs can be seen.

Must have been an impressive when all the stones stood. Hill of Couternach is on the other side of the River South Esk.

Stone Circle

drewbhoy Mar 27, 2019

The Whitehillocks stone circle is very easy to jump to as all you need to do is jump the fence on the west side of the B955.

Of the 5 stones in the circle, a boulder remains upright, another is almost completely down and now impersonates Jaws whilst the other three are properly down. There are possibly the remains of a cairn near the two northernmost stones, and from what I saw several kerbs appear to remain in place.

Another impressive site that looks north towards the spectacular meeting place of several glens.

Great wee site.
