Temple Wood, Kilmartin Glen

Temple Wood (or Half Moon Wood) is an ancient site located in Kilmartin Glen, near Kintyre, Argyll, Scotland [1]. The site includes two circles [1]. The southern circle contains a ring of 13 standing stones about 12 metres in diameter [1]. In the centre is a burial cist surrounded by a circle of stones about 3 metres in diameter [1]. According to the Historic Scotland information marker at the site, the southern circle's first incarnation may have been constructed around 3000 BC [1]. The northern circle is smaller and consists of rounded river stones [1]. In its centre is a single stone; another stone is found on the edge of the circle [1]. This circle may have originated as a timber circle [1].
