The stone on the left marks the E end; right foreground is approx. the W end; two fallen facade stones near the portals can be seen.

For scale, my daysac is bottom right of the cairn.

Not too many different images you can take of a round cairn!.
This one looking N.
3.1m. Taken from the road – I’d walked through enough glaur already this week.

Taken from road to W. Possibly the remains of a stone circle. 17/3/05
Some of the cupmarks and cup and ring marks on the inner face of the recumbent.
View from the S ie outside the circle area.
The stones are 2.1m and 2.3m high. The space between them is 4.6m.
Canmore: “the recumbent stone between them was removed in 1830 and put into the bank of the Don”.
16/3/05
Recumbent and W flanker from inside the circle.
In front of the recumbent is part of the “pavement” of stones which connects the recumbent to the ring cairn.

Looking SE with the massive 2.2m high stone on the right.

Looking W and showing the four remaining upright stones.
In the foreground to the left (not too clear) is a large stone which has been suggested as a recumbent.
If so it would be pretty well due E, but then these Kincardineshire RSCs never did follow the rules!
Recumbent and flankers from inside the circle.
Spot the stones at right agles to the recumbent. One on the left possibly but, on the right, ...??
The recumbent, the west flanker, and two circle stones (the one to the left having cupmarks on its outer face).
