Ardlussa

Standing Stone / Menhir

drewbhoy Aug 18, 2021

The standing stone at Ardlussa like many standing stones appears to indicate a natural harbour and is situated on the north side of Ardlussa Bay, a short distance east from the road.

It stands at about 1 meter high and has no markings. The only thing to disturb its peace was myself and a few cows.

Nice site.
