19/03/2013 – We were driving down the road and Mrs T, who was looking at the map, suddenly yelled out, “Stop the car, there’s a stone circle in that field!“. Well, I wasn’t going to argue. What a brilliant circle it is as well. I could have just stood forever, looking out over the stones. Fantastic stuff.

Park up the road, retrace your route back down to straight edged new forest. Located on west hand side at the top of the hill near the cow pen, the stones only just protrude above ground except one which is fairly big.
Canmore says:
“Measures 20.1 by 18.9m Seven of a probable 12 original stones set in a circle 60 ft. in diameter remain. Four are still (1963) in situ, none protruding more than 2 ft above ground”
It’s still marked on the map, so presumably it’s still there.
