On the Hill of Aldie are the last fragments of two small circular buildings, "one of which consists of a circle of tall stones placed at regular intervals. The chamber enclosed within the circle is some 12ft in diameter.
Judging from the size of the mound there has probably been a concentric surrounding wall here." (Illustration suggests the remains of a tumulus.)
C MacLagan 1875.
Perambulation of the Hill of Aldie (Information from Mr Andrew Kerr, farmer, Middleton of Aldie), centred on NT 056 989, failed to locate either of these 'buildings'. No further information could be found locally.
