Balquhain Stone Circle, is a recumbent stone circle (RSC). The circle originally consisted of 12 stones. Four remain standing, with another four fallen, the final four presumed to have been moved. The recumbent altar stone is 3.8 metres wide, 1.7 metres high and 1.05 metres deep, it has been estimated to weigh over ten tonnes. It is made of a type of white grained granite that has been suggested to have been brought some distance to the location.The eastern flanker stone is 2 metres, the western flanker stone is 2.25 metres high. The circle has been estimated to have been between 18 metres to 21 metres in diameter. The most spectacular stone here is not part of the circle. It is the massive 3.2 m high, triangular, tapered outlier made of white quartz, which stands about 3.5 m outside the circle.
