Standing stones, Lagyie.

About ¼ m SE of the chambered cairn [NH92SE 3] across the railway, and scarcely 400 yds SW of Tullochgoram farm, are two standing stones. The stones, standing on a line bearing 17 degrees S of W, occupy a very low gravel ridge on the flood-plain of the Spey well below the first gravel terrace and only 150 yds from the river bank. The E stone (triangular in plan) measures 2’9” high x 3’6” wide x 1’6” thick at its W edge. The W stone, which tapers upwards, measures 7’6” x 1’11” x 1’8” to 1’2”, its edge being also on the W.

Visited by RCAHMS (VGC, AG) 25 September 1943.
