NR 221 673. Only two standing stones survive of the three that were noted by Pennant at Ballinaby during his visit to Islay in 1772.
(Ballinby 2) The second stone is situated on gently sloping ground at the foot of an escarpment 220m NNE of (Ballinby 1). Damaged by what may have been an attempt to remove it, it is somewhat irregular in shape with a girth of 3m at the base, and it has been reduced to a height of 2m.
