The field containing Raich was in crop during our 1987 visit, so the above photo is all we have of this site. In common with South Ythsie, the circle is said to stand on an artificial mound 1m high, this would fit with the obvious elevation above the surrounding crop. Although only one tall stone is visible in the above photo, there are supposed to be two, one at the SE, and another at the NNW. Like Shethin, this circle is another possible four poster variant.
