Ninestane Rig (English: Nine Stone Ridge) is a small stone circle in Scotland near the English border. Located in Roxburghshire, near to Hermitage Castle, it was probably made between 2000 BC and 1250 BC, during the Late Neolithic or early Bronze Age (Bronze Age technology reached the Borders around 1750 BC). It is a scheduled monument (a nationally important archaeological site given special protections) and is part of a group with two other nearby ancient sites, these being Buck Stone standing stone and another standing stone at Greystone Hill. Settlements appear to have developed in the vicinity of these earlier ritual features in late prehistory and probably earlier.

has abstract	Ninestane Rig (auch Ninestone Rig) ist ein kleiner Steinkreis südlich von Hawick, in der Nähe der englischen Grenze im Süden der Scottish Borders in Schottland. Ninestane Rig ist der namengebende Hügel (283 m), auf dem der Steinkreis steht. Er ist nicht zu verwechseln mit Nine Stanes (auch „Garrol wood“ oder „Mulloch wood“ genannt) in Kincardineshire in Schottland oder Nine Stones (Belstone), Nine Stones (Winterbourne Abbas) bzw. Nine Stones (Altarnun) in Cornwall. Der Steinkreis (einer von 16 Kreisen in den Borders) liegt in der Nähe des Hermitage Castle und wurde wahrscheinlich in der Bronzezeit zwischen 2000 v. Chr. und 1250 v. Chr. errichtet. Es ist eine national wichtige archäologische Stätte, der besonderer Schutz gewährt wird. Der etwas ovale Kreis besteht aus acht Menhiren (englisch Standing stones), ein neunter liegt flach nach innen gefallen. Sechs Steine sind abgeschlagene Stümpfe von 0,6 m oder weniger Höhe. Von den beiden großen stehenden Steinen ist einer ein Monolith von früher etwa 2,1 m und der andere ein spitzer Stein von etwa 1,2 m Höhe. Es gab in der Nähe eine Reihe ähnlicher Kreise. Die Steine sind entfernt worden, aber die Höhlung in der Mitte jedes Kreises und Markierungen in der Erde, die die früheren Positionen der Steine anzeigen, sind noch sichtbar. (de) Ninestane Rig (English: Nine Stone Ridge) is a small stone circle in Scotland near the English border. Located in Roxburghshire, near to Hermitage Castle, it was probably made between 2000 BC and 1250 BC, during the Late Neolithic or early Bronze Age (Bronze Age technology reached the Borders around 1750 BC). It is a scheduled monument (a nationally important archaeological site given special protections) and is part of a group with two other nearby ancient sites, these being Buck Stone standing stone and another standing stone at Greystone Hill. Settlements appear to have developed in the vicinity of these earlier ritual features in late prehistory and probably earlier. The circle (actually slightly oval in form) consists of eight stones fast in the earth (a ninth stone has fallen inwards and lies flat), but six of these are now just stumps of 2 feet (0.61 m) or less. Of the two large standing stones remaining, one is a regular monolith a little under 7 feet (2.1 m) tall and the other, a pointed stone, is a little over 4 feet (1.2 m) tall. According to the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland, a number of similar circles formerly existed in the immediate area; the stones have been removed, but the hollow in the center of each circle and marks in the earth showing the former positions of the stones are still visible. In the immediate area there is also a street of circular pits 8 to 10 feet (2.4 to 3.0 m) deep which may have formed the shelters of the people who set up the circles, although this is not certain. Ninestane Rig is actually the name of the low hill (943 feet (287 m) high, 4 miles (6.4 km) long and 1 mile (1.6 km) broad) atop which the stone circle stands but is also usually used to designate the circle itself (which is also sometimes called Nine Stones, not be confused with the Nine Stones circle near Winterbourne Abbas in Dorset or the Nine Stones at Altarnun in Cornwall, nor Nine Stone Rig in East Lothian or Nine Standards Rigg in Cumbria.)
