Stone Circle (remains), Priests Glen, Laxdale.
On the broad summit of the ridge, Cnoc Mor or Cnocan t-Sagairt, between New Valley and the Laxdale River, some 7/8 mile due west of Laxdale School and 1 ½ miles north-west of Stornoway, at an elevation of 200 feet above sea-level, and commanding an extensive prospect over the Eye peninsula and the Minch to the east, are three prostrate pillar stones, the remains of a stone circle, which, judging from their present position, must have had a diameter of about 50 yards. The one stone on the northern arc is 5 feet in length and 3 feet 2 inches broad, while the other two on the southern arc, which lie 30 feet 6 inches apart, measure 5 feet in length by 2 feet 8 inches in breadth and 5 feet 6 inches in length and 2 feet 5 inches in breadth respectively.
