NY 829748; NT 774009. The two circles at Goatstones and Three Kings near Hexham are outliers of the Scottish series of "four-poster" circles, whose most characteristic features (eg. rectangular setting, grading of stone heights, SWINE axis, sepulchral function) link them with the Clava-Recumbent Stone Circle series of NE Scotland. Such associations as they have suggest a date for four-posters in mid-2nd millennium BC. They seem to have begun in Aberdeenshire, spreading to Perthshire and further afield. In four of the five excavated examples cremations were found, sometimes with urns. These are humble, local burial monuments, not observatories; thirty-four examples from Banff to Radnorshire are catalogued. | ||
