Kenmore Church (Christianised Site)

Some folk will undoubtedly be wondering why Kenmore Church is listed here. The MA tome comes to the rescue (p370):

Kenmore Church occupies the prime position at the centre of Loch Tay's east end, standing on a moundlike ridge. The church is probably Christianised a former sister monument of the Killin circle at the other end of Loch Tay

Barbrook IV (Ring Cairn)

From "Rock Around the Peak" by Victoria & Paul Morgan:

... "on the edge of Ramsley Moor, east of Barbrook I" ... " has sometimes been referred to as a stone circle, but is more likely to be a ringcairn. All that remains is a rubble bank circa 23m by 21m externally in diameter."

Barbrook V (Ring Cairn)

From "Rock Around the Peak" by Victoria & Paul Morgan:

"Part of an extensive cairnfield, Barbrook V is located to the west of Barbrook I, on the other side of the Bar Brook stream." ... "It has been badly damaged by a packhorse track which cut through the centre in the Medieval period. Only half the bank to the south-east remains."

Barbrook II (Stone Circle)

Not even on the Landranger map, but an easy walk 200 metres N/NNW from Barbrook I.
Is this thing on?
