What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Tomnaverie as Recumbent Stone Circle (neolithic) - (bronze Age). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Tomnaverie is a recumbent stone circle, likely dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age, and is one of several such monuments found in northern Scotland, often associated with ceremonial or ritual use. These circles typically feature a large central slab supported by two upright stones, suggesting astronomical or seasonal alignments, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
