Throwing stone to land on the flat top seems to be a tradition – possibly foretelling some happy event for the successful.
You can get some idea of the scale of this from the fence.
The recumbent (3.6 x 1.5m) from outside the circle.
Knock Hill (10km N) is in the distance.
The markings on the inner face of the recumbent which mark the line of the major southern moonset.
The external face of the recumbent (2.8m x 1.9m) and flankers (2.2m and 2.0m).
Looking across the circle showing two of the three remaining upright circle stones and the outline of the ring cairn in the circle.
The 10m cairn immediately to the E of the circle. Recently excavated by the looks of it.
Recumbent (3.1m long x 3.2m high) and flankers (3.4m and 2.9m) from the outside
This and the next image are looking eastish – the sea is just visible. The trees in the distance are the same and part of the stone at the right of this image appears on the left of the next one.
There are lots of stones lying around – some looking like they might have edged ring cairns and some as if they could have been standing stones.
It’s not a great photo but this is the stone E of the east flanker which has 12 cupmarks on its inner face.
