Garleffin NX 087 818 to 087 816 NX08SE 1

In 1855 eight standing stones were recorded on the raised beach at Garleffin; of these, five remain upright, two are recumbent, and one was removed before 1895. The stones, which are irregularly placed over a distance of 200m, range from a slab of conglomerate measuring 1.2m by 0. 7m at the base and 1.6m in height, to a rounded granite boulder about 1.3m in height.
