Kensalyre Standing Stone

Standing Stone / Menhir

drewbhoy Jul 30, 2019

The taller of the two standing stones looks down on the three sites being a walk of only 240m over squelchy heather covered ground from the roadside cairn.

The flat topped stone is about 1m tall with no markings but has superb all round views.

Now onto the second cairn, in this confusing place.
