'Ancient' Scottish stone circle was built in 1990s

Archaeologists were studying site until former farm owner came forward

A stone circle thought to be thousands of years old has turned out to be a lot more modern after a former farm owner admitted building it in the 1990s.

The "recumbent stone circle" in the parish of Leochel-Cushnie, Aberdeenshire, was reported by the site's current farm and was considered unusual for its small diameter and relatively small stones.
