Easter Aquhorthies stone circle is one of the best-preserved examples of a recumbent stone circle (RSC) and one of the few that still have their full complement of stones and the only one that has all its stones still standing without having been re-erected.

The circle has a diameter of 19.5 metres. Eight of the stones are made of pink porphyry, the ninth is made of red jasper. The two tall stones flanking the horizontal stone are made of grey granite and the large resting stone itself is made of red granite.
