Whitcastles or Little Hartfell (grid reference NY 2240 8806) is a stone circle 6½ miles NE of Lockerbie, Dumfries and Galloway. Nine fallen stones lie in an oval measuring 55m by 45m.[1] The largest stones lie to the north and south of the circle; interest in cardinal points is a common feature in the stone circles of the Solway Firth.[1]
