Strichen Stone Circle

Strichen is a small Megalithic stone circle located in the Scottish county of Aberdeenshire. The stone circle is located in a field among sheep.

Between 1980 and 1982 reconstruction stones were located in the original stoneholes and their height grading was recreated. It is uncertain, however, that each stone was returned to its original position. By 1999 one of the stones re-erected in 1982 had fallen over. Prior to this there have been several occasions where the stones have been removed. The stones located at the circle today are not the original Neolithic stones but are placed within the original holes created by the Neolithic people.
