Yes, there really is a stone circle in
there somewhere.
Today Tuosist stands in the garden of a house by the R571, we counted five
circle stones standing, one fallen, a possible sixth lying within the circle and
a small boulder near the centre which may be the remains of a boulder burial.
With the exception of the SW stone, all of the circle stones are slab-like and
the two standing to the north are rectangular with flat tops. Two of the circle
stones have been split by frost, and one of these standing at the south has the
wide, low form that hints at it being a recumbent. Give its domestic setting, we
suspect that Tuosist has suffered some rearrangment over the years and its
original form can only be guessed at today. Unfortunately it was impossible to
take an overall picture of Tuosist because of the tree and the many ornamental
shrubs growing within the circle.
