Broomend of Crichie is a small Neolithic henge located in Scotland. Within the henge was a small stone circle with an avenue of standing stones leading up to the henge entrance. However, the majority of the stone avenue was destroyed during the Victorian era and only four standing stones from the avenue remain today. Outside the henge were stone circles as well, but they too were destroyed by the Victorians. There are currently three standing stones located within the henge. Two of them are original stones from the stone circle within the henge while the third one is a Pictish symbol stone relocated at the site.

The Pictish stone was found during construction of a nearby railway and moved to the henge to protect it from destruction.

The henge is clearly visible on Google Earth.
