The circle’s long history includes a later elongated cairn and burials placed within its interior.
Excavation found stone cists, cremated remains and pottery, showing that the interior changed function over time.
Stories, beliefs & mysteries
Meaning through time
Its changing use suggests that later communities reinterpreted an already ancient place.
Published local traditions require careful sourcing; the setting has nonetheless acquired modern spiritual significance.
