Aikey Brae, Bronze Age stone circle in Old Deer, Scotland
The Aikey Brae stone circle contains five standing stones and five fallen stones, with a massive 21.5-tonne recumbent stone on Parkhouse Hill.
The monument received its scheduled status in 1925, with excavations in 2001 revealing kerbstones displaying alternating red and white colors from the Late Bronze Age.
The location previously hosted traditional feeing markets where agricultural workers gathered to secure seasonal employment with local farmers.
Access to the stone circle requires following a signposted minor road south from B9029 between Maud and Old Deer, with limited parking available at the corner.
The excavations at the site uncovered 43 worked stone artifacts, including quartz flakes and flint scrapers that demonstrate ancient craftsmanship techniques.
