Glenquicken stone circle (grid reference NX50965821) is an oval stone circle with a central pillar, two miles east of Creetown, Dumfries and Galloway.[1] The outer ring is formed of 29 stones.[1] Aubrey Burl has called it "the finest of all centre-stone circles."[1]
Two other circles to the north-west were marked on the Six-inch First Edition Ordnance Survey map.[2] Alexander Thom planned these in 1939, but they are no longer visible.[1]
