NT 6540 6732 Friday 23/8/02
Way up on this moor, in the middle of these hills, seven small stones form an oval 9 metres EW, 8 metres NS. The stones are all set on edge or end, as many of the Whiteadder monuments. They only rise to a maximum height of about 25 cm. Along the northern arc of the circle I can see three earthfast stones (four have been reported) and approximately 10 metres west are another three stones (also earthfast).
Marked on the 1:25000 map. This circle is high up in the Lammermuir Hills and according to MacLean in his "Standing Stones of the Lothians" is made up of seven stones with a diameter of 27 foot, only about 8 inches above ground level. Burl classifies this as a Plain Ring.
An entry from Ancient Stones, an online database that covers most of the standing stones, stone circles and other stones found in South East Scotland. Each entry includes details, directions, photograph, folklore, parking and field notes on each location.
