Dalchirla Standing Stones View all content for Dalchirla

We parked and asked permission at Dalchilra farm. The stones sit low on the Machany Water Valley downstream from the Dunruchan Hill stones. The solitary north-western stone stands proud about 12 feet from the level of the field although it's hard to judge it's true size as it looks as if it may be propped up by the pile of stones which surround it. This looks as if it might be a re-erection job although it's hard to say. If this is the original state of the monument then it's pretty unusual. The two other stones sit in a nearby field to the south-east. The larger of the two stones has weathered cup markings on it's east face near to the base of the stone.
