Stone circles are common throughout the British Isles, but the type of circle represented at Tomnaverie is found only in north-east Scotland. There are around 100 of them. Their characteristic feature is a large stone set on its side (recumbent), flanked by two upright stones, usually on the south or south-west arc of the circle. The tallest stones of the circle are also usually on the same arc. Such circles were built around 4,000 years ago.
