Summary

Description
English: Site of Hill of Milleath Recumbent Stone Circle. I was rather dreading the challenge of finding this spot, because I was aware from the descriptions of the stone circle here that it had been destroyed in the late 1860s and the site subsequently planted with forestry. After checking the First Edition six-inch map and the satellite view, I fully expected to have to crawl through dense stands of Sitka Spruce after a long wet trek up the hill, with no GPS reception to confirm that I was in the right place. In the event, to my pleasure and great relief, I discovered that the Forestry Commission has constructed a fine new road right to the very spot, which (according to my GPS) is just in the trees in the middle of this view. I did peer more closely into the gloom, but can confirm that there is nothing to be seen of the circle. It is one of three RSCs of which no trace is now visible on the ground, but where there is sufficient documentary evidence to show that there was at one time a recumbent setting, the others being NJ7520 : Site of Ardtannes Cottages Recumbent Stone Circle and NJ5226 : Site of Bankhead Recumbent Stone Circle (1).
