Access to the circle:

The circle is sign posted from the main B 9125 road. Access is very easy as the circle sits just 100m from the road. Car parking space is provided and a footpath through a swing gate takes you along a wide short avenue of trees to the circle.

This is a restored site under state care. Plaques nearby give information about the circle. It is small in diameter and the stones are large and boulderous. The interior is cluttered with 8 internal ring cairns, all of which are clearly defined. The site is strewn with gravel chips rather than being covered in grass.A very good circle but I found it to have little atmosphere, it's ease of access makes it well worth a visit.

The gravel strewn interior of Cullerlie does nothing for the atmosphere of this site.
