Tomnaverie Stone Circle

Description

The following site is worth a visit as you travel along Deeside, it is a Scheduled Ancient Monuments.  The site is managed by Historic Scotland, access is free but the site is unmanned.  

 

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.
