(NR 3282 4782) Carragh Bhan (NR)
OS 6" map, Buteshire, 2nd ed., (1900)
Carragh Bhan: This very large and broad standing stone traditionally marks the grave of King Godred Crovan. Several smaller and possibly related stones have been noted nearby (Celoria 1959).
Name Book 1878; F Celoria 1959.
NR 3283 4781 Carragh Bhan: name unconfirmed. A prominent standing slab above an east facing slope, with extensive views in that direction. It stands 2.3m high and broad and 0.5m thick at base, and is orientated north east-south west with a slight lean to west north west.
Recent ground disturbance here has exposed two nearby stones stumps, both measuring 0.8m by 0.2m and now protruding 0.3m above ground level. Together with a partially buried slab, showing as 0.5m by 0.4m, they are amongst a scatter of earth fast stones around the main stone and their association, if any, is uncertain.
Standing stone surveyed at 1:10000.
Visited by OS (JRL) 8 June 1978.
