(NR 9316 6835) Standing Stones (NR)

OS 6" map, Argyllshire, 2nd ed., (1900)

Two stones, 25' apart centre to centre. The northernmost is 10 1/2' high, and the other is 2'3" high. The broken part of the smaller stone is said to have been used as a lintel for a byre at Low Stallaig.

A standing stone in this vicinity - perhaps one of the above - is said to have Ogham lettering on it, but this can be seen only when the light is exactly right (Paterson 1970).
