This is one of the rare stone circles in the west of Scotland and one of the earliest monuments at the head of Loch Buie; its location underlines the attraction of the bay to early man as well as to the builders of the medieval castle and the later mansion house. The circle was originally of nine stones, but one has since been destroyed and has been replaced by an erratic boulder. The stones are up to 1.75m in height and are associated with three outlying monoliths, one of which is 3m in height.
