Region : Tayside District : Perth & Kinross Town or village : Monzie Grid Reference : NN 881 241 Period :   Bronze Age   Monzie STONE CIRCLE, CUPMARKED STONE

A large prostrate slab of metamorphosed grit profusely carved with cup-and-ring markings lies at the south-west of a kerb-circle of low boulders. Ten stones survive out of possible fifteen, set in a ring 5m in diameter. The outlier was connected to the circle by a causeway. During excavations in 1938 a cist situated eccentrically within the circle contained cremated bones of an adult and a child and fragments of white quartz. The site is on private land, in the park of Monzie Castle. A few hundred metres to the west there is a single 1.5m tall standing stone, called Witches' Stone (NN 879 243).
