Remains of stone circle. There is a faint trace of a possible circular crop mark in the field to the south on a vertical aerial photograph taken in 1978. Only one of the stones is now set in the churchyard wall as the wall has been re-aligned. This stone is 2.9m long and 0.8m thick. The other stone, now buried in the graveyard flush with the ground, is 2.6m long and 0.8m thick. There are no other remains of the circle to be seen. The south wall of Kinellar kirkyard dyke incorporates two massive stones, and it has been speculated that they are the remains of a recumbent stone circle. The west stone measures 2.85m in length by at least 0.85m in height and 0.6m in thickness. The other lies 5.15m to the east in the angle of the wall, but little of this is visible, and no meaningful measurements could be made.
