Also known as Callanish VIII, Gerald Ponting (Margaret Curtis’ first husband) names this site as Cleitir (Cletcher).
As you can see from the photos, this is a fantastic setting, and has such a ‘pull’ that I found it very hard to leave.
When you get to Lewis ensure that you get a copy of ‘The Stones around Callanish’ By Gerald & Margaret Ponting (Curtis). It’s got all the detail you need on the so-called minor sites. If you look across the strait from the site you should see a lone standing stone to the left of the road-this was moved during road construction and was re-erected my Margaret and Ron Curtis, as was one of the menhir at the main site. Ron has actually left his initials near its base!
An essential visit.
