Description

The upstanding monuments include stone circles, standing stones, chambered cairns, hut-circles and field systems. Only four of the oliginal total of nine stones of this circle can now be seen and of these three have been reduced to stumps which barely project above the level of the peat. Excavation in 1861 revealed a central cist with a second lying a little to the south. In the latter there was a crouched inhumation accompanied by two flint flakes. The Service has been prepared by us solely for information purposes to Members and the Service is based on information we consider reliable and we obtain the contents of the Service from a number of different third party sources (including Contributions), but we do not endorse, support, represent, warrant or guarantee the completeness, truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of the Services and any information therein. Machrie Moor 2 ( grid reference NR91143241) is the most visually striking of the circles on Machrie Moor. [1] This circle has a diameter of 13.7 metres, and may originally have consisted of seven or eight tall sandstone slabs, three of which survive intact, while stumps of others may be seen. [9] The heights of the three intact stones range from 3.7 metres to 4.9 metres. [9] Within the circle are two large stones, apparently cut from a fallen pillar, one of which now has a central hole as if for conversion to a millstone. [9] Excavations in 1861 revealed a cist in the centre of the circle. [9] A food vessel was found in this central cist. [1] A second, empty, short cist was found between the centre and the northeast upright stone. [9] Machrie Moor 3 [ edit ] Machrie Stone Circle 3 Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”).

The classic fresh Arran Single Malt character with a puff of peat smoke. This Single Malt produced at Lochranza Distillery is some of the original, very first peated Single Malt that we produced on the island. Six stone circles are visible on the moor immediately east of the derelict Moss Farm. Some circles are formed of granite boulders, while others are built of tall red sandstone pillars. The moor is covered with other prehistoric remains, including standing stones, burial cairns and cists. Several hut circles can also be seen as low rings of turf-covered stone. The circles were associated with the religious and ceremonial activities of the Neolithic and Bronze Age farmers living on Machrie Moor. The stone circles aligned with a prominent notch at the head of Machrie Glen, where the midsummer sunrise would have been visible. Fruit, smoke, spice, vanilla, malt, graham and light bits of citrus peel and copper. The palate doesn’t deliver the same complexities as the aroma, but it remains a nice crisp malt.

Others are built of tall, imposing, red sandstone pillars. In one circle the builders have alternated granite and limestone.

Machrie Moor 3 ( grid reference NR91023244) originally consisted of nine stones. [10] Only one still stands, 4.3 metres high, but the stumps of others are still partially visible in the peat. [10] The stones form a geometrical egg-shape. [10] Excavations in 1861 uncovered a small cist in the centre containing an urn with some fragments of burnt bone and flint flakes. [10] A second cist was found 1 metre south of the centre; it contained a crouched burial, also with some flint flakes. [10] Machrie Moor 4 [ edit ] Machrie Stone Circle 4

Historic Environment Scotland. "Ballymichael, Arran Bridge Farm, Stone Setting (39711)". Canmore . Retrieved 20 May 2014. Machrie Moor Stone Circles is the collective name for six stone circles visible on Machrie Moor near the settlement of Machrie on the Isle of Arran, Scotland. On the west coast of the Isle of Arran lies a windswept and mystical peat bog called Machrie Moor. Bronze Age stone circles and standing stones are strewn across its barren, undulating terrain. One of the stone circles is known as Fingal’s Cauldron Seat, where sits a stone with a carved hole. The legendary warrior giant Fingal is said to have tethered his favourite dog Bran to this stone. This peated expression of the Arran Single Malt perfectly captures the rugged beauty and lore of the landscape. Unleash the legend that is Machrie Moor.Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products. When it comes to accommodation in Scotland, there's a fantastic choice of amazing stays from luxury hotels to glamping getaways. This small circle now complises four low granite boulders and it is not known whether there may oliginally have been more. Excavation in 1861 revealed a central cist containing a Food Vessel, a bronze pin or awl, and a group of flints. The finds are in the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland, Edinburgh.

This is the most spectacular of the Moss Farm stone circles with the three surviving uptights standing to a maximum height of up to 5.5m, making them amongst the tallest standing stones, in Scotland. The circle originally consisted of seven or eight stones, and the remains of some of the fallen monoliths litter the surrounding ground. In the more recent past an attempt has been made to reuse one of the fallen stones by converting it to the two halves of a set of mill stones, but the project was abandoned when the upper half broke in two. In 1861 two cists were found in the circle; one contained a Food Vessel with a cremation, and in the second there was a crouched inhumation. Six stone circles are visible on the moor immediately east of the derelict Moss Farm. [1] Some circles are formed of granite boulders, while others are built of tall red sandstone pillars. [1] The moor is covered with other prehistoric remains, including standing stones, burial cairns and cists. [1] The stone circles are positioned over previous timber circles. [2] A radiocarbon date of 2030 ± 180 BCE has been found for the timber circle at Machrie Moor 1. [3] Several hut circles can also be seen as low rings of turf-covered stone. [1] Map of the Machrie Moor Stone Circles Machrie Moor 5 ( grid reference NR90873234) called "Suidh Coire Fhionn" or "Fingal's Cauldron Seat" consists of two concentric rings of granite boulders. [12] The inner circle is 12.0 metres in diameter and consists of eight granite boulders. [12] Excavations in 1861 uncovered an empty, ruined cist in the centre. [12] The outer circle is approximately 18.0 metres in diameter and is formed of fifteen granite boulders. [12] The outer circle is said to form a geometrical egg-shape.

Later on, the circles were used for burials, including cremations and inhumations, perhaps for prominent members of the community. A fine food vessel was found in the middle of circle 2.We may, but are not under any obligation, to release new functionalities and tools or other features for the Service every now and then.

Although several of the stones of this circle (strictly speaking an ellipse) appear to be missing or displaced, it probably originally consisted of a ring of twelve stones arranged in an unusual manner with tall sandstone slabs alternating with squat granite boulders. This is the only circle in the Moss Fann group to have this feature which, in fact, is rarely seen in Scotland as a whole.
