Anomalous stone grouping, down here as a stone row, thought by some to be the possible remains of a court tomb. There are more stones beneath the brambles.

I thought this was a grave stone but it is actually the older version of the fogra you see at all the protected sites. Never seen it anywhere else before.

This stone is part of the D and about 1 metre long by about 150mm high. It may have some cup marks on it.

This is one of the stone in the D, it is a red stone, I dont know if this is available in the area. For some reason I think it may be barite.

Looking south, in the right foreground you see what is the stone row part of this tomb, in the right midground there are about 3 larger stones basically in a pile.
Then to the left foreground a half D or quarter-circle begins to radiate out but finishes in a quarter part of a circle (or 90ish degrees) if that makes any sense.

Grange Lios

This is across the road from the grange lios and is really very unusual.
As I tried to explain there is a stone row that points north – north west. Then about 5 stones form half a D from this row to the east.
One of the stones is red and possibly made from Barite (I have to check). Another of the stones is a long and low one that is also unusual looking.
To the south of the row there are about three larger stones heaped. Again id be interested what the official view on this is.
I was talking to the farmer that owns the land Tim on a previous visit and he told me about how a healer woman had been at the stones one evening. He said that there had been a big full moon on the night and the woman went over to this row. When she came back she asked him did he have any injuries, seemingly he had a bad back and she cured it by placing her hands on it.
However the moon thing really got me thinking, especially after coming back from Callinish that possibly this row could be aligned to a lunar rising.
