Region : Grampian District : Banff & Buchan Town or village : Tarves Grid Reference : NJ 884 303 Period : 3rd-2nd millennium BC South Ythsie STONE CIRCLE

An interesting small (8.2m in diameter) circle of six boulders on a man-made levelled mound. The stones include two porphyritic veined with quartz, three whinstone (gneiss) and one of grey granite. The stones are graded in height towards the south-west. There are records of an outlier some 200m north-east. In 1994 the stone circle was restored by the members of Tarves Heritage Project.
