Mylnefield, Longforgan, Perthshire

Stone Circle (destroyed):  OS Grid Reference – NO 332 430 (approximation)

Archaeology & History

This stone circle wasn’t logged in either Barnatt (19890 or Burl’s (2000) standard megalith inventories.  The only mention of it seems to be in Alex Elliott’s (1911) rare work on the region, in which he described it as being located “within the grounds of Mylnefield”.  All trace of it would seem to have gone.  Elliott told it to have been,

“elliptical in form and consisted of six large boulders – three at the east, three at the west, with a gap between capable of holding an equal number of stones.”
