NT62SW 24 64 24.
This circle stood on mining ground, formerly known as 'Sillary Knowe', near Harestanes cottages.
(D Watson 1890).
Enquiries at Harestanes Cottages proved negative. A 91 year old resident had never heard of the name "Sillery Knowe". Perambulation of the area found an alluvial ridge, planted with trees, at NT 643 243. Whether this could be the 'Knowe' in question, however, is conjectural; the position does not agree with Stobie's map or the 1795 estate map.
Visited by OS (WDJ) 23 January 1967.
