River Almond

This circle is of the same type as its close neighbour Clach na Tiompan, but is in a better state of preservation (although still quite ruinous). Two stones remain standing, and a further two stoneholes have been identified. The stones protrude from cairn material, which spreads to a diameter of approximately 5.0m. The circle itself is nothing much to look at, but its location, between the steep sides of Glen Almond, is stunning.

remaining 2 stones – approximately 1.0m tall

cairn material approximately 5.0m in diameter
