Broomend of Crichie Avenue
Date Added: 26th Feb 2012
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: Scotland (Aberdeenshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 2007. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 3 Access 3
Broomend of Crichie Avenue submitted by golux on 13th Jan 2012. Once there were two stone circles here, joined to one another by an avenue of paired monoliths. Of this double row or "avenue" of maybe 80 stones, only 4 survive.
According to Maitland and other authorities a double line of stones about 18m apart extended from a point 450 yards south of the circle, where a number of cist burials were discovered, up to the circle and then on to a second circle (Broomend of Crichie North circle), an overall length of about 500 yards.

Broomend Of Crichie Stone Circle / Henge
Date Added: 26th Feb 2012
Site Type: Henge
Country: Scotland (Aberdeenshire)
Visited: Yes on 4th Oct 2007. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 4
Broomend Of Crichie Stone Circle / Henge submitted by megalithicmatt on 30th Oct 2011. A section of Richard Bradley's excavation (ended Oct 2007) which shows a slightly elongated (8 x 8.5m) circle of post holes abutting the henge and built across the southern avenue line.
Bradley believed these could be evidence of a 'wood henge' since the post holes are larger than those of a conventional hut circle. If so, this would be the most northerly known one in Britain.
