Sunhoney Recumbent Stone Setting

3D Model

This is the cup marked recumbent stone setting at Sunhoney, Echt, Aberdeenshire. A complete stone circle of 26.7m maximum diameter, consisting of a recumbent stone 5.3m long, two pillars, and nine other standing stones, is situated in a small plantation a short distance to the north west of the farmhouse of Sunhoney.

On what is at present the upper surface of the recumbent stone, are 31 cup marks, but as this stone appears to have fallen over it seems probable the marks were originally on the inner face towards the centre of the stone circle. There is also a similar cup on a fragment split off from the recumbent stones when it fell. Canmore 18543 ScRAP 2152 NGR NJ 71592 05701
