Druids' Seat (Druids' Seat Wood)

Ruinous and somewhat graffitied, but still magical stone circle in a forest clearing to the east of Luncarty. You walk through the forest to reach the clearing which is magical.

There are 9 stones in a thirty-foot circle ranging from a stocky squared boulder nearly six feet tall to much smaller stones little over two feet tall. Tall and short stones must have alternated alternate round the circle, although this is not so obvious now that several of the stones have fallen.
