NS0955 : Kingarth Stone Circle - Isle of Bute
taken 6 years ago, near to Kingarth, Bute, Argyll And Bute, Scotland
Kingarth Stone Circle - Isle of Bute
There are three standing stones remaining in what was once a larger prehistoric stone circle. One of them has fallen and been re-erected, and it is not at all clear what form the original setting took.
The southernmost stone, a large block of conglomerate, bears numerous graffiti, including what appears to be a small incised cross with expanded terminals.
This one is of schist, and is the middle of the three stones. It is 2.8m high by 2.2m by 1.0m and has been split almost in two by frost action.
The third stone, supported by an iron bar, is 2.2m high and measures 1.1m by 0.5m at its base but broadens to 2.0m by 0.5m near its top.
