Port Elphinstone - Broomend of Crichie

The Broomend of Crichie is a henge monument containing the remains of a stone circle and a Pictish symbol stone that was moved here. Old records show that the Broomend was once connected to a second, but now lost, stone circle by a stone avenue.

It represents the remains of a ceremonial centre used from the late 3rd millennium BC until the Iron Age. The henge, the oldest part, is still recognisable, measuring around 35 m in diameter with two opposite passages in the rampart and several interruptions in the ditch. Today there are three menhirs within the henge. Two of the stones belong to a disturbed stone circle that was once part of the henge, consisting of six stones.
