Oh look, there’s a standing stone over there...who cares, where’s the next circle?!!!
Remains of a burial chamber forgotten amongst the megalithic madness of Machrie Moor
6. Machrie V – ‘Suidhe Choir Fhionn – Fingal’s caudron seat‘
View back from the path to Giant’s Graves. This is NOT from the top! Pre-forestry views must have been beyond breathtaking!!!
The 2 stones to the west of the lane. The one to the right of the lane was completely obscured by trees & hedges
To the west. You can even see the sea on the very far right!! If you turn round you can see something else entirely....
The 2 concentric circles were more obvious when these photos were taken & the bracken hadn’t encroached so far
This is the one Burl reckons is a 3 stone row. His theory is that the 2 end stones have fallen left in this pic, and the middle one has fallen right. Makes sense.
Crap scan – will replace when I can get a better one, but it gives a vague idea of the scale of the complex: White Moss (slightly below centre and right) and Brats Hill (to right of dark patch in centre – honest) from Low Longrigg
You have to climb this hill from Boot in Eskdale. That’s Boot. Yes, it’s steep...probably marginally steeper than it looks in this photo!!
