Clune Recumbent Stone Circle, Aberdeenshire

3D Model

3D model produced from 151 photographs using Mavic 2 Pro drone.

A recumbent stone circle enclosing a cairn is situated on the summit of the hill within Clune Wood, Aberdeenshire. The cairn measures about 14.5m in diameter by up to 1m in height. The recumbent (2.8m by 0.7m and 1.2m in height) and its flankers (that on the E measuring 1.4m high; that on the W 1.6m) are on the S, set on both the perimeter of the cairn and the line of the circle. The latter is roughly oval, measuring 16.5m from E to W by 13.8m transversely and comprises six stones in addition to the recumbent and flankers. A fallen slab 2.2m long on the WSW may have been the tallest, and a stump on the NNE the shortest, but the stones do not appear to be regularly graded in height; a fallen pillar on the ENE is 1.8m long and the three upright stones range from 1.7m in height on the WSW to 1.5m on the NNW and ESE respectively.

A small ring cairn can be seen to the east in the model.
