Abstract

Cullerlie of Echt is a stone circle on a ridge of gravel running into the low plain of Leuchar Moss at 90m OD. Eight rough boulders, graded to the north and with their bases keeled, are set in a ring, 10.2m in diameter, within which lie eight small kerb cairns, all but one with eleven kerb-stones. The central cairn is the largest, at 3.4m in diameter; it is the only one to have a double kerb. This and six other cairns each has 11 kerbstones. Canmore reports that a survey conducted in 2004 disclosed the following features: Outer circle stones: Northernmost stone has one cup mark on lower inner (S-facing) face. Easternmost stone has one cup mark on upper N-facing face. Southernmost stone (This D model) has one cup mark on inner N-facing face. Inner circle stones : Easternmost stone of central cairn kerb has one large cup mark on inner face. However, from the 3D models the cup marks all appear to be a natural features.
