OS 6" map, (1959)
Whilst improving his land about 1847 the tenant of Nether Balfour (NJ 5373 1738) completely destroyed the remains of a stone circle about 20 yards in diameter, and discovered the remains of about 20 yards of road paved with flat stones, evidently leading to the circle, from the NE.
Name Book 1867.
There is no trace or local knowledge of the stone circle or 'causeway' the site of which falls in a pasture field. A stone cup (NJ51NW 12) from a stone circle on the Braes of Forbes (area centred NJ 53 17) may be from this site.
Visited by OS (RL) 10 September 1968.
There is no change to the existing record.
Information from RCAHMS (JRS), 26 August 1996.
