| Description |
|
This view from the SW shows the two parallel rows of standing stones from within the adjacent kerb cairn. One of the fallen outlying stones that has been removed from its original position is now to be found in several pieces in the ditch beside this kerb cairn. It was a rather unusual stone as it was perforated with a large whole said to have been used in betrothal ceremonies up to recent times. The kerb cairn probably dates to 1,400 BC - 1,200BC. |
