East Aquorthies Stone Circle, Aberdeenshire

East Aquorthies Stone Circle, Aberdeenshire
1992

This is a recumbent stone circle, with a large stone set horizontally in the southwest, and the height of the stones are graded, increasing towards the recumbent. Such recumbent stones are often associated with moon observations and are particularly numerous in Aberdeenshire. The stones were set up about 4-5000 years ago (from the board at the site, as of 1992)
