Standing Stones, Crois Mhic Jamain, Port nan Long.
About 400 yards south-west of Port nan Long, near the base of the south-eastern slope of Suenish, are two grass-covered impinging mounds raised on the highest extremity of a slight rocky ridge, and lying north-east and south-west. They each measure some 24 feet in diameter and rise about 4 feet above the general level of the ground. On the summit of each hillock is a small standing stone, the distance between them being 18 feet 6 inches. The stone to the south-west is a rectangular slab measuring 3 feet in height, 1 foot 10 inches in breadth, and 6 inches in thickness, while the other is an irregular block 1 foot 7 inches in height, and 5 feet in girth.
