You’d think these stones must have been used for something else.

And near the houses there is a barrow complete with the usual stone dumping.

Ballymeanoch Barrow

To my complete surprise I spied a barrow, almost next to the A816. It must have been huge in its original condition as it still is 30m wide and still has a height of over 1m. As usual, field clearance has been dumped on top.

Not much to see, the site is grass covered, I found the site fascinating, so fascinating I jumped the dyke and walked back to Kilmartin to catch up with A & B. I’d forgotten about the henge, I’ll visit that in 2024.

Yet another part of the jigsaw.
