The six stone circles which are in our care are located immediately east of the now-derelict Moss Farm. The stone circles are the most prominent monuments on the moor today, erected in about 2000 BC. However, archaeological excavation has demonstrated that they were a later phase in a long history of human activity on Machrie Moor. On the west coast of the Isle of Arran lies a windswept and mystical peat bog called Machrie Moor. Bronze Age stone circles and standing stones are strewn across its barren, undulating terrain. One of the stone circles is known as Fingal’s Cauldron Seat, where sits a stone with a carved hole. The legendary warrior giant Fingal is said to have tethered his favourite dog Bran to this stone.

Machrie Moor 5 ( grid reference NR90873234) called "Suidh Coire Fhionn" or "Fingal's Cauldron Seat" consists of two concentric rings of granite boulders. [12] The inner circle is 12.0 metres in diameter and consists of eight granite boulders. [12] Excavations in 1861 uncovered an empty, ruined cist in the centre. [12] The outer circle is approximately 18.0 metres in diameter and is formed of fifteen granite boulders. [12] The outer circle is said to form a geometrical egg-shape.

This is the most spectacular of the Moss Farm stone circles with the three surviving uptights standing to a maximum height of up to 5.5m, making them amongst the tallest standing stones, in Scotland. The circle originally consisted of seven or eight stones, and the remains of some of the fallen monoliths litter the surrounding ground. In the more recent past an attempt has been made to reuse one of the fallen stones by converting it to the two halves of a set of mill stones, but the project was abandoned when the upper half broke in two. In 1861 two cists were found in the circle; one contained a Food Vessel with a cremation, and in the second there was a crouched inhumation. Having that number of people looking and thinking about the monument for the first time in potentially several thousand years created a real energy,” he said. The stone circles were recorded in 1861 by James Bryce, and numbered 1 to 5. Five other monuments in the area were numbered 6 to 10, and when subsequently a further stone circle was discovered almost completely submerged in peat in 1978, it was numbered Machrie Moor 11. Around 1 kilometer to the west is the remains of the Moss Farm Road Stone Circle, (Machrie Moor 10).Nutmeg, smoke, Twizzlers, malty sweetness, almonds, vanilla, spice, touch saline and a light bit of fruit and new canvas.

Six stone circles are visible on the moor immediately east of the derelict Moss Farm. [1] Some circles are formed of granite boulders, while others are built of tall red sandstone pillars. [1] The moor is covered with other prehistoric remains, including standing stones, burial cairns and cists. [1] The stone circles are positioned over previous timber circles. [2] A radiocarbon date of 2030 ± 180 BCE has been found for the timber circle at Machrie Moor 1. [3] Several hut circles can also be seen as low rings of turf-covered stone.
