Stone Circle (Remains of), Bhruist, Berneray.
About 300 yards east of the north end of Loch Bhruist, near the watershed of the island of Berneray, is a group of five large stones, possibly the remains of a stone circle. Four of the stones are not only prostrate, but seem to have been removed from their original positions. The one undisturbed pillar stone is 3 feet 10 inches high and 7 feet 6 inches in girth, and has a large irregular boulder, 7 feet 4 inches long by 3 feet broad and 2 feet 6 inches thick, lying against its north-west base. Two other blocks, 3 feet 8 inches in length by 2 feet in breadth and 4 feet 8 inches in length by 2 feet 3 inches in breadth, lie 8 feet 8 inches and 20 feet 2 inches distant respectively from the standing' stone to the north-west. A third prostrate stone, 3 feet 6 inches by 2 feet, lies some 53 feet 8 inches south by west of the erect pillar and 35 feet 6 inches from the nearest prostrate pillar.
