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.
The central Pictish symbol stone was ploughed out and erected here in the 19th century. It is engraved with a crescent moon and a hybrid creature. The reddish symbol stone could have been part of a double row of stones that led through the henge.
