The stone and its neighbours once formed part of a stone circle. The circumference of the circle was marked by a circle of cobbles laid in the grass, but the grass, having this unfortunate tendency to keep growing, has now all but hidden the cobbles. You can just about make out a groove in the grass from lower left to the centre of this shot. The information board is clearly visible, and the Brandsbutt Stone itself is in the semi-shade to the right of it.
