Howemill Stone Circle cup marks, Aberdeenshire

3D Model

This four-poster stone circle is situated at the W end of a broad ridge overlooking the Leochel Burn. It has consisted of four stones in a subrectangular setting measuring 6m NE-SW by 5.5m transversely, but only the S stone is complete, standing 1.1m high https://skfb.ly/oEArX. The E and N stones have been broken, although earthfast stumps mark their positions, and the W stone has been reduced to a pile of broken rubble. There is an outlier, 22m away to the S, which has fallen over. The largest fragment of the E stone bears 6 cups https://skfb.ly/oEyC9 , up to 40mm in diameter. The ground within the circle is uneven, perhaps the result of disturbance. Canmore 17589 Scrap Art 2652 NJ 58045 10716
