The Loanhead of Daviot recumbent stone circle, Aberdeenshire, consists of a ring of nine stones on a circle 20,5 m in diameter with an inner ring of 3,7 m in diameter. It is to be interpreted as a ring cairn, a Bronze Age grave without a passage. It probably was aligned to a point on the horizon where the solstitial midwinter sun set. Scotland.
