ALT On the left side, a pink and white box with a warning icon and the word "ALERT" is prominently shown. Below this, a large white box contains the text "Witness Appeal" in bold blue letters. The right side of the image features a blue-tinted, slightly blurred photograph of a police officer with the text "POLICE SCOTLAND" visible on their uniform, indicating that the appeal is related to an investigation by the service."

ALT A large digging machine, ensconced in a metal-fenced playpen, is silhouetted by the morning sun. The surround is a misty field, fading away into the background.

ALT The upright stones forming the ring include a large horizontal ‘recumbent’ (flat-lying) stone in the southern quadrant and are arranged so that they reduce in height from the two flankers on the south-west round to the shortest stone in the north-north-east and the gaps between the stones also close up towards the north-east – the whole enclosing a low polygonal cairn, the perimeter of which is delimited by a now discontinuous series of kerbstones. This, in turn, is revetted by a surrounding platform of rubble, into which the standing stones are set. The recumbent, the flankers, the orthostats (upright standing stones) and the kerbstones of the internal cairn are all Granite-Granodites and the admixture in the recumbent includes a high quotient of quartz grains.3 Most of the orthostats are pink in colour, the recumbent is paler in colour due to its quartz content. The kerb and interior of the platform are predominantly pink or red.
