Cullerlie stone circle, Stone circle and cremation site in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
The stone circle features eight granite stones positioned in a circular arrangement of 10.2 meters diameter, containing eight internal burial cairns with stone kerbs.
The monument dates back to the second millennium BC, when communities transported stones from higher ground to construct this burial and ceremonial location.
Excavations in 1934 revealed evidence of ritual practices involving burning oak and hazel within the stone rings, followed by depositing cremated human remains.
The circle stands near Echt village, three-quarters of a mile south of the B9119 road at Garlogie, with designated parking for visitors.
Each of the eight internal cairns displays different characteristics, with six containing single rings of eleven stones, one with a double ring, and one without kerbs.
