I counted 18 definite cup marks on this rock. CANMORE says there are 21 so I need my eyes fixing.

Half of it is missing, but this would be a big circle if complete - 55 metres across. Eight stones are still here. Maybe seven stones missing. The tallest stone is about 1.5 metres tall.
In a beautiful spot in a hollow by a burn (which is in danger of undermining the stones on the western arc).

Three fairly small stones - CANMORE thinks one of them might just be a random boulder rather than part of a setting with the two definite megaliths.
The stones are near the road and in a very empty bit of flat moor, but they're low enough to be easily missed when the heather is thick.
"Small stones in flat featureless moor" sounds pretty dull, but it's a lovely site!

This stone row is just a few hundred yards from the Grey Cairns of Camster. According to CANMORE there are actually six rows here but they're disappearing under the peat. I found two of the rows. A couple of stones are maybe a metre proud of the peat. Others have only a few centimetres showing.
Don't go hunting in wet weather or you may get sucked into the bog and never seen again!!

New paths and fences have been put around this area this year. One result of which is that the outlying stone (between the X and Temple Wood and the Nether Largie South cairn) is in the same field as the main stone setting and so is more readily accessible than in the past.
