Standing Stones
Also known as Quinish; Ach' Nan Carragh
This is a row of four standing stones. One still stands, two fallen stones are visible, and a third fallen stone was discovered under the turf.
The stone still standing is about 2.7 metres (about 8 feet) tall. The largest fallen stone is rather bigger - 3.6 metres (about 12 feet) long.
