Loanhead of Daviot Stone Circle, Aberdeenshire

This is a recumbent stone circle, with a large stone set horizontally in the southwest, and the height of the stones are graded, increasing towards the recumbent. The flanking stone on the far side of the recumbent has twelve cupmarks. Such recumbent stones are often associated with moon observations and are particularly numerous in Aberdeenshire. The stones were set up about 4-5000 years ago (from the board at the site, as of 1992) Next to the site is an enclosed cremation cemetery (to the south-east)
