096 | The Druidical Circles are situated on the top of a small range of hills lying to the north of Fowlis. They consist of large stones set on their ends, about two feet apart. There is avery large standing stone, about 60 feet to the north, which appears to be some way connected with these circles. |

Stone Circles -
see order dated
10th. Der. [December] 1864
Standing stone should not
be written to the two stones
isolated from the Circles
The following is taken from the New Statistical Account.
"On the summit of the hill, north of Fowlis Wester village, there is a Druidic circle of stones, and a double concentric
circle. This is believed to have been the temple of an arch Druid, which when erected was probably in the midst of
a forest in which were the oak, and consecrated grove, the favourite objects of their superstition. The circle consists
of sixteen stones, between which and the double circle there is a large stone incumbent, where the arch Druid stood and addressed himself to those around him.
The outer precinct of the concentric circle is eighteen yards in circumference, in which are forty stones. Three yards north from it, there is a large standing stone,
which is probably monumental of some illustrious dead, as they were then interred around those places where they worshiped the Supreme Being."
There is no trace now of the concentric circle noticed above, but it is very probable that the two isolated standing stones formed part of it.
