Balgarthno stone circle is a recumbent stone circle, the only one to survive in the area. It probably dates to somewhere between the late Neolithic and early Bronze Age periods (c. 3,300 and 2,500 BC). It's also known as Gourdie Stanes and must have been part of the other Neolithic sites in the area. Was nearly an ASDA car park
