Description
The
standing stone terminates the stone row at the northern end.[1]
Many of the stones in the stone row are missing, and have clearly been robbed for use elsewhere.[1] The cairn circle had also been robbed, and at the beginning of the 20th century there was only one stone standing, with four fallen and the presumed sites of six other stones represented by pits. In 1909 the circle was restored and five of the present stones were introduced from elsewhere.[1]
