Details Site of cairn circle. The site of the northern circle, a probable cairn, in the Crichie complex, is now occupied by a sandpit. Maitland described it just before 1757, as three concentric rows of erect stones with a small cairn in the middle. Nearby there is said to have been a flat altar-stone with a cavity in the upper part, raised on a rough cairn. There are no extant remains of this cairn circle.
