Standing Stone (Menhir) in Argyll
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) has a page for this (now destroyed?) standing stone which is near Barnacarry House. Their reference comes from RCAHMS (1988), which describes an 'old stone standing 'pon this hill' standing some 3 and 1/2 feet tall. See TNA's entry for Cnoc Mor, Garbhallt, Argyll which gives directions for finding this site.
At the same grid reference given by TNA, Canmore ID 40571 has no listing for a standing stone, although they do list "a group of about 12 recessed platforms are cut into the projecting hillside between Barnacarry and Inver Cottage. 2 platforms had diameters of 6.4m; 8 of 7.3m, 1 of 8.2m; and 1, probably, of 9.1m. All were apparently earth banked. As at Lephinchapel the hillside is artificially terraced and some of the platforms are cut into the terraces."
