NT26SW 12 2264 6212. The remains of a circle, forty feet in diameter and composed of large stones, set close together, could be seen, in 1843, close by the road near Marchwell. They had lately been broken and removed for the construction of a wall which runs through the middle of the site. In 1927 the Commission found only two stones in situ, both about 15 ins high. Five similar blocks lay nearby: all seven, of a basaltic stone, seemed to have been brought from a distance. Stevenson, in 1940/41, donated two fragments of a food vessel from the site to the NMAS (acc. nos. EP 160-161) and agrees that, at present, the site should be classed as a stone circle. NSA 1845 (A Torrence); RCAHMS 1929; Proc Soc Antiq Scot 1941 Information from R B K Stevenson, NMAS. NT 2264 6212 The remains of this stone circle, as described above, are two boulders, 0.5m high, embedded in the edge of a knoll. Wartime slit-trenches on the top show the knoll to be very stony but probably natural. Surveyed at 1/2500. Visited by OS (RD) 3 February 1970 No change to previous field report.
