Crofthead Farm
Standing Stones
Also known as The Thorn
To the west of the village of Fowlis Wester, standing in a field by a burn, are three megaliths. Two standing together are large - six to eight feet high - and the third, a little downslope from the others, is enormous - perhaps fifteen feet by fifteen feet by six feet. This latter is prostrate and cracked into two, with cup marks in one surface.

2/6 Looking from the West.
3/6 Looking from the North. Does the top of the taller stone match with the West Lomond peak, or is it just a coincidence?
4/6 Looking from the South East.
5/6 Looking from the East.
6/6 Looking from the South, by the large stone. The two other stones are on the skyline at the top-left.
