A nineteenth-century source describes the removal of a stone circle from Bridgend of Livet, on the eastern bank of the River Livet.
At first two monoliths were left in situ, but by 1869 these had been removed. In 1907 an archaeologist from the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland visited the area and through local enquiries was able to locate one of the stones lying in a hedge near the original site.

Two stones standing erect; the remains of a stone circle, of which the other stones were removed in improving the land some years ago (Name Book 1869). F R Coles (1907) looked for this but could find only one displaced stone (shown to him by the tenant), a block of whinstone 4' x 2'10" lying in the hedge between the garden and the paddock at Old Livet, some 50 yards NW of the site.
Name Book 1869; F R Coles 1907.
(NJ 1989 3005) There is no trace of a stone circle or the displaced stone described by Coles. Field now under crop.
