History & archaeology
A place made over generations
The site combines a ring of standing stones with an aligned row and small cairn. Stones were re-erected after excavation in the twentieth century.
Because restoration shaped its present appearance, visitors should distinguish excavated evidence from the modern arrangement of individual stones.
Stories, beliefs & mysteries
Meaning through time
The relationship of circle, row and cairn suggests linked ceremonies and movement, although precise astronomical functions are uncertain.
Its orderly form attracts modern mystical interpretations; these should remain distinct from the results of excavation.
