Standing Stones, Clach Stein.
On the brow of the brae overlooking Ness from the north, about 500 yards north-west of Port of Ness, at an elevation of over 100 feet above sea-level, are three large boulders, two erect and one prostrate. The most northerly stone is 4 feet 8 inches high and 10 feet 10 inches in girth at the base; the other erect stone, a rough boulder, 3 feet 4 inches high and 9 feet 3 inches in girth, lies 10 feet 6 inches to the south-west, and the prostrate slab, an irregularly-shaped stone, 6 feet in length, 4 feet in breadth and 21 inches thick, lies about 8 feet to the south south-west of the former and 3 feet 1 inch from the latter.
