Uploading a bit later than I had intended, this is the latest instalment in my visiting Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age sites, mostly in Scotland, in fact ALL in Scotland in 2020 - thanks coronavirus :(
Please excuse my dodgy camera work! Hey, I never said I was a videographer lol!
**RECUMBENT STONE CIRCLES:
A recumbent stone circle is a type of stone circle that incorporates a large monolith, known as a recumbent, lying on its side, with two flanker stones either side. The combination gives the look of an altar but is thought to have been designed for astronomical rituals or observations. Recumbent circles are found in only two regions: in Aberdeenshire in the north-east of Scotland and in the far south-west of Ireland. **
