Tomnaverie

Tomnaverie recumbent stone circle - 2005 - the recumbent

The magnificent restored recumbent and flankers viewed from inside the circle.
It is worth comparing this fine view with the ruinous state of these stones on our previous visit.
Tomnaverie is unusual in that its recumbent is situated further west than any other recumbent stone circle.
With an azimuth of 235.5 degrees viewed from the circle centre it was probably designed with the extreme
of the minor moonset at 233 degrees in mind (note off-centre hump on recumbent).
