Full Description
NB23SW 32 2093 3385.
There is a low mound with a turf-covered flat top about 3m across comprising stones surrounded by some bare sloping rock surfaces. At the centre there is one earthfast stone 0.5m long, 0.4m wide and 0.3m high, and one loose stone.
It is located on the E shoulder near the N end of the ridge of Aird Callanish. Attention is drawn to this mound because it is thought to be an outlying horizon marker connected with the Standing Stones of Callanish (NB23SW 1).
