RCAHMS surveyed two profile lines over the landscape of Sighthill Park, N-S and E-W from the stone circle. RCAHMS GPS survey
Photographic Survey (21 May 2013)
A photographic ground survey of the Stone Circle within Sighthill Park, Glasgow was made in May 2013, as the future of the circle continued to be discussed by the council and members of the public. The stone circle was recorded earlier in 2013 by RCAHMS through aerial photography and it is hoped that access to the park will be granted to make a high-spy photographic record and drawn site sections.
