[Margin] Stone Circle High Auchenlarie

At the upper side of a cultivated field adjoining
the moorland about 1/4 m. [mile] ENE. [East North East] of the farm
house of High Auchenlarie are the remains of
a stone circle associated with the site of a
cairn. The stones are very irregularly placed
two of them are fallen, and two in rear of
the site of the cairn merely protrude above the
ground. It is difficult therefore to determine
what has been the original condition of
this monument. The two sculptured stones
in the garden at Cardoness are said to
have been taken from it. The site of the Cairn which
appears to lie within the setting seems to have
measured about 22 [feet] in diameter (Plan & photo)
About 51' SW. [South West] of the tallest stone in the setting
is a rock sculpturing on an exposed rock
face partially hidden by turf. It consists of
two encircled cup marks each with a radial
groove, and of several smaller cups to some
extent connected by channels. It bears some
resemblance to the stone at Kirkclaugh House
Mr. Coles illustrates a stone Bardriston but
enquiry there failed to elicit information of its existence
