This stone circle is a Prehistoric monument located in Perthshire, Scotland, situated approximately 52 metres southwest of Druid's Park House. The site is protected by Historic Environment Scotland as a scheduled monument under reference SM1571. Stone circles of this type were typically erected during the Bronze Age, forming part of the ritual and ceremonial landscape of prehistoric communities across Scotland.
The monument stands upon bedrock of the Strathmore Group, formed during the Emsian period of the Paleozoic Era. This geological foundation comprises primarily sandstone with subordinate bands of conglomerate, siltstone and mudstone, typical of the sedimentary deposits underlying much of lowland Perthshire. The local geology would have influenced the selection and sourcing of stone for the circle's construction.
The proximity of Druid's Park House to this stone circle reflects how later settlement followed established focal points in the landscape. As with many surviving stone circles in central Scotland, this monument preserves evidence of Bronze Age ceremonial practice, though its exact number of surviving stones and original dimensions would require on-site inspection. The circle contributes significantly to understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and ritual practice in Perthshire.
