'Ancient' stone circle thought to be thousands of years old was built in the 1990s


Archaeologists in Scotland have revealed that a stone circle thought to be thousands of years old is actually a modern replica. The stone circle, which is in the parish of Leochel-Cushnie, was reported by the current owner of the farm where it is located, according to officials. As a result, the site was deemed an authentic Recumbent Stone Circle. A former owner of the farm contacted Aberdeenshire Council to say that he had built the stone circle in the mid-1990s. For this reason, we include any modern replicas of ancient monuments in our records in case they are later misidentified,” he added.
