(NO 8274 7911) Stone Circle (NR)
OS 6" map (1904)
Stone Circle, Cotbank of Barras: In the centre is a low circular heap of stones. At a radius of 26ft are several smallish earthfast stones, and 5ft beyond, in the S arc are two stones, one nearly 5ft long. A third, broken, is in the E arc and a fourth near the N point. None of these stones is pillar-like but the large SE one is probably a prostrate pillar. Ten feet outside this radius are two more stones.
This stone circle was not located by Coles owing to dense vegetation.
F R Coles 1903; Name Book 1863; information and plan from W Duthie, schoolmaster, Barras.
The remains of a robbed cairn, situated on a prominent ridge. It comprises a discontinuous circle of kerb stones set close together with a small grassy tump of cairn material within. There is no trace of an outer ring of stones (cf NO76NE 1).
Resurveyed at 1:2500.
