Machrie Moor, on the west side of Arran, is soaked through with archaeology going back 5,500 years.
A very obvious feature of the moor is the group of six stone circles set very close together.
Circle 2 was a ring of seven or eight stones, although only three now remain standing. The tallest is around 5.5 metres (18 feet) tall. One of the fallen stones was reused in the 1700s to make two millstones, although they were never removed to a mill and the incomplete millstones remain in situ. Two cists were found within the circle, one containing human bones and the other containing cremation remains.
Machrie Moor, upande wa magharibi wa Arran, ni imevaa na akiolojia kwenda nyuma miaka 5,500. Sehemu ya wazi sana ya eneo hilo la nyanda ni kikundi cha duru sita za mawe zilizowekwa karibu sana. Mzunguko wa 2 ulikuwa pete ya mawe saba au nane, ingawa sasa ni matatu tu yaliyobaki. Mnyama huyo mrefu zaidi ana urefu wa mita 5.5 (18 ft). Mawe hayo mawili yaliondolewa na kutumiwa katika ujenzi wa mawe ya kinu, lakini hayakuchukuliwa na kuhamishwa kwenye kinu, na mawe hayo hayakukamilika. Vituo viwili vilipatikana ndani ya mduara huo, kimoja kikiwa na mifupa ya kibinadamu na kingine kikiwa na mabaki ya maiti iliyotengenezwa.
