What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Borland Glen as Four Poster Stone Circle (bronze Age). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Borland Glen's Four Poster Stone Circle is likely from the Bronze Age, a period when such ritual or ceremonial structures were commonly built in Scotland. The arrangement of four upright stones may have had astronomical, seasonal, or social significance, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
