Loanhead of Daviot


The stone circle of Loanhead of Daviot is a recumbent stone circle (= RSC). The RSC is characterized by a "recumbent stone" accompanied by two standing, tall, "flank stones" that are located inside or near the circle.
The circle consists of eight stones plus the accompanying stones on either side of the 12-ton "resting stone". The height of the stones in the circle increases towards the resting stone. The circle has had a detached interior lined with stones since the end of the 3rd millennium. It contained broken pottery and deposits of cremated remains.
There were ceremonial activities here for about 15 centuries, from about 3000 BC, when the stone circle was built, until about 1500 BC, when the subsequent cremation cemetery fell into disuse.
