Bandirran (west)


This beautifully-situated circle probably originally consisted of 10 stones on a diameter of around 85m, however there are now only 8 are now visible and only 2 still stand. The site is on what appears to be a low artificial mound (edged with stones) within a clearing in the trees. The stones that still stand were probably the tallest in the circle and are around 1.60m tall. They are on the SW arc of the circle, suggesting that the stones were graded in height in that direction, in common with other stone circles.
