Full Description
NF77NE 20 7803 7677.  
 
(Area : NF 782 769) A group of boulders, consisting of an oblong cube of stone approx. 8 by 4 by 3ft, surrounded by other large blocks, lies above Traigh Himiligh, on the north shore of Vallay Island.  
Beneath the first-mentioned block (two sides of which appear to be artificially squared) are several smaller stones.  
A hammerstone and two flat pieces of sandstone also found beneath it are thought to be adventitious.
