NR9132 : Machrie Moor Stone Circle 3
taken 6 years ago, near to Tormore, Isle of Arran, North Ayrshire, Scotland
Machrie Moor Stone Circle 3
Six stone circles are visible on the moor immediately east of the derelict Moss Farm.
This stone circle originally consisted of nine stones. Only one still stands, 4.3 metres high, but the stumps of others are still partially visible in the peat. The stones form a geometrical egg-shape. Excavations in 1861 uncovered a small cist in the centre containing an urn with some fragments of burnt bone and flint flakes. A second cist was found 1 metre south of the centre; it contained a crouched burial, also with some flint flakes.
