Megalithic Technology in Ancient Scotland: East Aquhorthies Stone Circle

Hugh Newman, author of 'Stone Circles' (Wooden Books 2017) investigates East Aquhorthies Stone Circle in Aberdeenshire. It is a classic recumbent stone circle, a unique type found mainly in north-east Scotland. It has a large stone set on its side and flanked by two upright stones to the south or south-west part of the circle. The stones here appear to have been chosen for their colour. They’re all rough, pinkish porphyry, except for the stone next to the east flanker, which is red jasper, the two flanking stones, either side the recumbent stone, which are grey granite, and the recumbent stone, which is made of red granite quarried from near Bennachie. Geometric carved stone spheres were also found in this area of Aberdeenshire. Includes exclusive aerial footage. https://youtu.be/zMTmExKbCZo.
