Monzie
Stone Circle
NN 882 243

Continue on the A85 towards Perth and take a left after 1.5miles on the A822. After a short distance turn left, signed Monzie and a little way on you will see the castle “gatehouse” on the left. Park near here on the verge on the right and ask permission as the road sign says private. 

The overgrown circle

The circle was very overgrown on our visit and was full of nettles and weeds. This made it a slightly painful experience clearing the stones to find the cupmarks! This is a very small kerb circle set on a low mound and consists of 10 low granite boulders and measures only 5m across. 

 

Next to the gap in the SE is a cupmarked stone in the kerb and just outside the circle to the west is a large slab with cup and ring and cupmarks. This was originally linked to the circle by a cobbled causeway similar to the ones at the Clava cairns in Inverness. A short way off to the NW you can see a standing stone in the field.
