Harestanes

This stone circle – which stands in the corner of a private garden – originally consisted of five low boulders. Four of them range in height from 0.60m to 1.20m, while a fifth is broken off at ground level, all standing on a circle of 3.00m in diameter.

A sixth stone lies 1.50m to the East of the damaged stone, and is probably the remainder of the fifth stone.
