Geocache Description:



Berrybrae

 Berrybrae is an interesting recumbent stone circle to visit despite its much altered state over the millenia. The original setting comprised a 12.8 metre by 10.8 metre oval of low stones with 9 standing stones and a 3.3 metre long and 1.4 metre wide recumbent stone around its perimeter. There was a ring cairn in its centre from which three cremation burials were identified. Burl (who excavated the site between 1975 and 1978 - says that it was partially destroyed by intrusive beaker peoples around 1900 to 1550 BC BC from which era a beaker burial was found. The stones were toppled and some smashed to create an enclosed cremation cemetery. There are now 5 remaining stones including the recumbent stone with its bank reconstructed after the 1975-8 excavations. The site is located in a small wooded area 60 metres from the lane which runs between the A90 and the A952 about 3 kilometres south of the junction of those two A roads.
