Glentirrow (Stone Circle) — Fieldnotes

There's now (August 2006) a marked track leading to the circle from the gate into the field, near the 2M milestone SW of New Luce, so it's much easier to find first time - no need for GPS! A sign at the gate reads: standing stones 500m. The first marker post is visible from the gate, right in front of you, at about 80m. Cross the burn and carry on following the same contour (north) to a second post about 100m further on. A third post should then be visible about 100m up the hill (west) and the ring is about 200m+ further on. At present, the circle is about 1 metre or so north of the track (on your right). If you reach the fence / gate then you've overshot by about 70m.
