A recumbent stone circle probably once stood in one of the improved fields to the ESE of Tilquhillie Castle, but the stones were cleared before 1855 (see below) and the recumbent, a block known as The Druid Stone (Ritchie 1919, 71), lies discarded on a consumption dyke 275m SE of the Castle (NO 7252 9402). Measuring about 2.5m in length by 1.3m in breadth and 0.8m in thickness, what was the even summit of the block now forms its WNW side. What is probably a second stone from the circle has been re-erected in a gap between another two consumption dykes 35m SW of the Castle (NO 7223 9410); it presents a strongly curved profile and stands 1.65m high.
