Dumfries and Galloway, 28th October, 2022
***
***
One of the most easily accessible
and most complete stone circles in Britain!
***
***
The ring of nineteen stones, graded in height,
with the tallest in the south-east,
surrounds a central platform of small boulders
containing three large stones.
***
***
Folklore designates it another ‘Tomb of King Gauldus’
whom we met at Cairn Holy.
*
It is unlikely this site has ever been used as a tomb
but it has not been excavated.
*
Use of the same name may indicate a connection
between the sites of quite another sort.
***
***
Nineteen stones suggests measurement
of the nineteen year Metonic Cycle.
*
The central stones would here
represent, sun, moon, and earth.
