Midmar recumbent stone circle
Midmar Kirk Recumbent Stone Circle The recumbent is 4.5 metres long and weighs 20 tons and is flanked most impressively by two matching stones 2.5 metres high and resembling enormous canine teeth. The size and weight of the recumbent show the skill and determination of the circle builders in handling large blocks of stone. The church was built in 1797. The circle was tidied up when the graveyard was laid out around it in 1914. At this time, presumably, at least one stone was re-erected: that standing on the NNE of the circle, since its size does not follow the normal grading down from the flankers. Moreover, the recumbent and the easterly flanker are not exactly on the line of the circle as it is now laid out. The tidying up seems also to have removes traces of a later burial cairn.

Grange Stone Circle Carved Stone (LI032-004003-)
Upright stone with megalithic art carved onto three faces, at Grange embanked stone stone circle (SMR No. LI032-004001-), Co. Limerick. National Monument No. 247. The orthostat, labelled by Ó Ríordáin as Stone No. 9, has been split probably before it was inserted into the internal face of the stone circle on the north-eastern side. The vertical surface of the south-west face looking in towards the centre of the circle is completely different from the original smooth round surface of the other three sides which are decorated with concentric circles and other motifs similar to the carvings found on the kerbstones of passage tombs in County Meath. The motifs on this stone were recently identified by Ken Williams. The upright stone is located on the north-east side of the internal kerbing of the embanked stone circle and is the fourth stone to the west of the entrance into the circle.

Concentric Circle Speaking Stone (07-026-001)
This petroglyph boulder is located at the base of the mesa slope on the edge of an arroyo. It has 2 panels, one near ground level and the other above head height, each with concentric circle designs. Concentric circles on the ground level panel have had a head added, tranforming it into a shield-bearer motif. Both panels are on curved/parabolic/dish-shaped surfaces that noticably reflect sound, and the concentric circles on both utilize vesicular (sponge-textured) inclusions. If you look very closely while rotating the model, you might catch a glimpse of a third petroglyph element. This element, also a set of concentric circles, is fully repatinated, suggesting that prior to the Pueblo-period concentric-circle-shield-bearer earlier Archaic Period inhabitants also recognized the special acoustical properties of this boulder.

Grange Stone Circle LI032-006----
National monument No. 247. Stone circle on slightly elevated grassland 370m west of Lough Gur in an area rich with prehistoric monuments. Standing stones 147m and 210m to north-north-west, a prehistoric trackway running NW-SE known as Cladh na Leac lies 180m to the east. A large embanked stone circle known as the Grange Stone circle stands 90m to the south. A second partially levelled stone circle stands in the same field to the south-south-west. Monument consist of a low circular possible denuded burial-mound measuring 17m in diameter enclosed by fifteen low orthostats standing in a shallow fosse with a wide gap measuring 5m wide at south-south-west and slight traces of an external bank. The gap at SSW may have been created in modern times by the removal of two orthostats. The prehistoric site is on private land and there is no access to the monument without the landowner's permission.

Gamelands Stone Circle
Gamelands stone circle lies between the village of Orton and the hamlet of Raisbeck. It is an oval enclosure of around 40 large stones, all of which have fallen, together with three smaller stones. The stones are set into a slight bank. All of the stones are of pink granite with the exception of one which is limestone. The stones are all below one metre in height and are arranged in an oval of 42 metres by 35 metres. Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
Clune Recumbent Stone Circle, Aberdeenshire
A recumbent stone circle enclosing a cairn is situated on the summit of the hill within Clune Wood, Aberdeenshire. The cairn measures about 14.5m in diameter by up to 1m in height, but it has been extensively dug into. The recumbent (2.8m by 0.7m and 1.2m in height) and its flankers (that on the E measuring 1.4m high; that on the W 1.6m) are on the S, set on both the perimeter of the cairn and the line of the circle. The latter is roughly oval, measuring 16.5m from E to W by 13.8m transversely and comprises six stones in addition to the recumbent and flankers. A fallen slab 2.2m long on the WSW may have been the tallest, and a stump on the NNE the shortest, but the stones do not appear to be regularly graded in height; a fallen pillar on the ENE is 1.8m long and the three upright stones range from 1.7m in height on the WSW to 1.5m on the NNW and ESE respectively.

East Aquhorthies Recumbent Stone Circle
This recumbent stone circle by Inverurie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland measures 20m from ESE to WNW by 18.5m transversely overall and is one of the few with its full complement of stones, comprising the recumbent setting on the SSW and nine orthostats. The recumbent measures about 4m in length by 1.55m in height, and its spectacular leading face is shot with white bars of quartz (slickensides). Behind the recumbent two large slabs are set on edge at roughly right-angles to it and flush with its ends. The two flankers, standing 2.5m and 2.15m high respectively, are the tallest stones in the ring, both of them aligned with the front of the recumbent and turned slightly to trace the arc of the circle. The western, which is not only slightly taller than its eastern neighbour but also more slender, displays three posible cupmarks near the foot of its outer face.

Eslie The Greater Recumbent Stone Circle
This well-preserved recumbent stone circle just south of Banchory, Aberdeenshire, Scotland stands at 180m OD just below the crest of a low saddle with wide views to the south and west. Of the eight original circle stones (plus recumbent and flankers), five still stand; they range from 1.5m to 0.8m in height, the one opposite the recumbent being, characteristically, the smallest. In plan the circle is an ellipse, 26.5m by 23.2m. The enclosed ring cairn is 18m in diameter with a clearly visible central space, 6.3m in diameter; the cairn has been augmented by field gatherings. The recumbent, 2.9m long, is slightly east of south, like other Deeside recumbent stone circles. The circle is intervisible with another, Eslie the Lesser, 0.8km to the north-east (NO 722921),which is 15.3m in diameter and is located on a shoulder 20m higher than Eslie the Greater.
