Tomnagorn Recumbent Stone Circle, Aberdeenshire3D Model
This recumbent stone circle stands on a terrace on the W flank of the hill overlooking Tamnagorn from the E. Now in a grass-grown clearing at the edge of a modern coniferous plantation, the circle encloses a well-defined ring-cairn and measures about 21m in diameter, comprising the recumbent setting (1–3) on the SSW and nine orthostats (4–12), though one of the latter is leaning so steeply as to be almost prone (8) and another five are lying flat (5, 6, 9, 11 &12). The recumbent block (2) measures about 2.15m in length by 1.5m in height and has a relatively even summit. While both flankers remain standing, the western (1) has sheared off obliquely to a stump and what are probably fragments belonging to its top lie immediately behind it.
