Tillyfourie (Whitehill) Recumbent Stone Circle3D Model
This recumbent stone circle in a heather and grass grown clearing beside a track in Bogmore Wood. Of its thirteen stones, only the recumbent, the west flanker and one orthostat are still upright, but the circle is otherwise substantially complete, measuring about 20m in diameter and enclosing a well-defined ring-cairn. The recumbent boulder, which lies on the SSW, measures about 2.85m in length by 1.45m in height and is placed at a skewed angle to face almost S. Its horizontal summit is relatively even and a substantial earthfast stone behind its W end appears to chock it in position and prevent it from tumbling backwards. The W flanker is a relatively slender pillar standing 2.3m high and arches over the end of the recumbent, but the E flanker, a broader slab, has fallen forwards, exposing its full length of 2.6m.
