This is looking in the opposite direction from Image As you can see, no trace of the stone circle is visible now, though the map at http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17&lat=57.3305&lon=-2.7800&layers=5 shows where it was. It was cleared in 1866, and the stones used to build a dyke which has itself now disappeared. The recumbent is said to be still visible elsewhere on the farm, but I could not find anyone to ask for information or directions. See http://canmore.org.uk/site/17663/bankhead#668109 for more details. In the distance is Tap o' Noth in NJ4829.
