Glenquicken stone circle, Prehistoric stone circle in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland
The stone circle features twenty stones arranged in a 16-meter diameter formation with a central standing stone reaching 1.6 meters in height.
The site received its designation as a scheduled monument on December 21, 1934, marking its recognition as a significant archaeological structure in Scotland.
Archaeologists and researchers have documented the circle's arrangement, contributing to the understanding of prehistoric ritual practices in Great Britain.
Located two miles east of Creetown, visitors can access the site by following the minor road west from Creetown toward Gatehouse of Fleet.
The circle includes a gap on its western side where evidence suggests a missing stone once completed the prehistoric formation.
