Another sorry urbanised site. Destroyed in antiquity, the stones were used in a wall, and most have disappeared. The equally abused Brandsbutt Pictish stone was also broken up for walling material, before being Blue Petered back together and dumped here. Just to finish it off, they then built a housing estate around it. Not a place to linger, I'm afraid. Comments (3)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink

RCAHMS This site consists of the two remaining stones of a 5 stone circle, together with a relocated Pictish stone. Destroyed in antiquity, and further 'enhanced' by being surrounded by a housing state and partially restored, this site can be found by following the signs to the 'Brandsbutt Stone'.
