Clatt Bankhead

Stone Circle

drewbhoy Apr 7, 2009

There are four stones, of varying lengths, sitting near the edge of a small loch at the entrance to the Bankhead of Clatt farm/machine shop. Somehow it doesn’t seem to be very old! Further along the road to Rhynie is the Corrstone Wood circle.

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