Excuse my ignorance (being just poor Yorkie), but I drove this ridiculously narrow road South of Oban between Kilmore & Taynuilt last Tuesday (18th?) (Glen Lonan road) and came across a single standing stone bout half way along the trip.
Couldn't find it in M Antiq book.
Can anyone throw some light on this one?

Cheers - Robs.
ps Got some good pics of Kilmartin valley, but digital ran out of battery power before I got to above, (trying too many photographs from top of Dunadd).

Well spotted!!!

(NM 9250 2854) Standing Stones (NR)
OS 1:10,000 map, (1976)

About 100 metres east of Clenamcrie farmhouse there is a four-sided monolith situated on level ground immediately south of the public road. It measures 0.7 metres by 0.6 metres at the base and is 1.45 metres in height. Close beside it, to the west, there are two large boulders, but without excavation it is impossible to tell whether or not they are associated with the standing stone.

As described.
Surveyed at 1:10 000 scale.
