OS ref is approximate. A serpentine arrangement of lengths of round timber set upright in the ground. Each post is branded with a letter on the top so that the whole piece spells out the aphorism "The folding of the land is the unfolding of the way"
Related Information
One of several contemporary sculptures on the slopes of Bennachie.
Bennachie is a small mountain, its most prominent peak "the Mither Tap" has an Iron Age fort on its summit. It has been suggested as a possible location of the battle of Mons Graupius (a battle between the Romans and the Caledonians, described by Tacitus) without there being any tangible evidence for this although archaeological finds do show it to have been an important site at least from the neolithic period onward.
