Auchagallon Stone Circle, Bronze Age burial site in Machrie, Scotland
Fifteen standing stones arranged in a circular formation surround a central mound, with thirteen made of red sandstone and two of grey granite.
Archaeological excavations during the Victorian period uncovered a burial cist within the central cairn, dating the site between 2000 and 1200 BC.
The circular arrangement of stones suggests ancient burial practices, with the central mound likely containing remains and artifacts from Bronze Age ceremonies.
Located near the intersection of Shore Road and Brodick Road, the stone circle provides unrestricted access throughout the year for visitors.
The structure's design raises questions among researchers whether it represents a stone circle or a kerbed cairn, as both features appear in its construction.
