 Re: Which is the longest/largest recumbent stone in the UK? 26 messages | Select a forum: |
| This is really for Scottish TMAers... Well googling because of ignorance, mine, ( though they are to be found only in Scotland and Ireland?) it turned into an interesting read, they are part of a stone circle, the 'altar' from which you can see the moon, would form part of the dimensions of the s/c. So for a start, 'Old Keig' .... 'At Old Keig a recumbent stone circle situated on a slight crest on a ridge, and within a narrow windbelt. A recumbent stone, 16ft long on top, 6ft thick, 6 3/4ft high, two flankers, the westerly 5 1/4ft above the turf, the easterly 9 1/2ft, and a third orthostat, 9 1/2ft high, to the east, survive. Five other earth fast stones in the vicinity look as if they have been disturbed.' https://canmore.org.uk/site/17530/old-keig http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/191/old_keig.html Reply | with quote |  17th February 2017ce 08:25 In reply to: Which is the longest/largest recumbent stone in the UK?
