Girdle Stanes NY 253 961 NY29NE 13 & 24

On the E bank of the River White Esk, 300m NNW of Cote farmhouse, there is a stone circle measuring about 39m in diameter. The W arc has been destroyed by river erosion but around the E there are eleven upright stones (between 0.8m and 1.8m in height) and eleven fallen stones which are irregularly spaced along the inner edge of what is probably an old plantation bank. Nothing remains of an 'avenue' of stones recorded between this monument and the Loupin' Stanes (NY29NE 11& 25).
