Achadh-Chaorann (Standing Stone / Menhir) — Miscellaneous |
|
Achadh-Chaorann is a short distance to the east of the Carse stone row - along the same road. The rain was by now coming down hard and we were running late for the ferry so I had to settle for a 'drive by'. The stone is visible from the main road. I was initially disappointed not to have a closer loot at the stone and its cup marks but as it turns out we only just made the ferry so it turned out to be a blessing in disguise :) Hopefully I will get a proper when next in the area? |

Carse (Stone Row / Alignment) — Fieldnotes |
|
After visiting the Kilberry sculptured stones (H.S. site) we stopped off on the way to the ferry to have a look at these fine stones, which are visible from the road. Both fields are easily accessed via metal gates. There is a single stone in one field - approximately 7ft high. The two other stones are in the field next door. These stones are approximately 8ft and 10ft high respectively. The tallest stone has large lumps of quartz veined throughout it. There are fine views over Loch Stornoway. These stones are very easy to access and are a 'must see' when visiting this fairly remote part of mainland Scotland. |

Avinagillan (Standing Stone / Menhir) — Fieldnotes |
|
Visited 31.7.16 Directions: From Tarbert take the A83 south and then the B8024 turn off. The stone is found about 2 miles along the B8024 on your left (east). Easily seen from the road. Access is by hopping over a rusty metal gate. The wooden fence is still there and this 2m stone is further protected by waist high nettles. Not good when wearing shorts! The surface of the stone is covered in green lichen. This is a very easy stone to visit (and well worth it) if you ever happen to find yourself in Tarbert - which is in itself a nice place to visit. |
