Tour Scotland Photograph Croft Moraig Stone Circle

Tour Scotland photograph of Croft Moraig Stone Circle, Perthshire, Scotland. Croft Moraig, near Aberfeldy in Perthshire, with its concentric rings and outliers on an artificial platform. The history of the site is known from an excavation in 1965: Aout 5000 years ago, a horseshoe arrangement of fourteen wide wooden posts was erected in an ellipse 7 metres by 8 metres. This was surrounded by a ditch. The posts were later replaced by eight stones of graded height. Another smaller stone stood just outside. Some neolithic pottery was found related to this phase of the site. A rubble bank was created outside the stones and cup-marked stones added that aligned with the southern moonset and the midsummer sunrise. A twelve-metre diameter circle of twelve large stones was constructed and a couple of large outlying stones added.
