Full Description
NB43SW 17 404 326.
Documentary evidence and local reminiscence suggest that this shattered boulder (1.55m by 0.55m by 0.55m) is the remnants of the megalith removed from Callinish II stone circle (NB23SW 3). It was erect near its present position opposite Lews Castle entrance till 1919, and had probably been erected by Sir James Matheson about 1860.
