![]() View looking north. Although it is sometimes listed as a recumbent stone circle (RSC) Eslie the Lesser is more likely to be an ordinary circle surrounding a ring cairn. It stands about 700 metres northeast of the genuine recumbent circle of Eslie the Greater and 900 metres north of another RSC the Nine Stanes in Mulloch Wood.. |
![]() Looking southwest over the internal cairn and a pair of standing stones on the outer edge of the circle. Eslie the Greater can be seen as a dark horizontal line just in front of the trees to the left of centre while the hill of Kerloch stands prominently on the horizon to the left |
