Full Description

NB23NW 12 2077 3751.

A small rectangular stone setting (2m by 2.5m) with a central stone, 0.5m by 0.5m and 0.6m high is located on a small raised area which appears to he bounded by a stone or boulder at each of the four corners. The mound on which these stand may be about 4m by 5m across and extends under the surrounding peat, part of which has been cut and abandoned a long time ago.
It is located on a rocky ridge about 50m E of the main A858 road and about 150m N of the junction of the side road to Tolsta Chaolais. There is no local knowledge about this setting. The site was brought to our attention by MrIan Law of Tolsta Chaolais.
