Scope and Content Henge monument at Ballymeanoch, Argyll and Bute This henge is defined by a broad ditch with external stony bank. The ditch is asymmetric and is broken by two opposing entrance causeways, opening to the N and S. The S entrance is the broadest. This is a plan of the henge. The banks which surround the ditches are now very denuded. In the interior, the slabs of the two cists are visible. The larger and more central cist was robbed, but the other contained three inhumation burials and a Beaker. This henge still survives as an earthwork in an unploughed part of a field. The interior contained a cairn, and this was excavated by Greenwell in 1864. During the excavation two cists were discovered. One had been robbed but the other contained a Beaker.
