Suggested alignment from PP: Assumed positioned with a pointing stone due North from the middle for sky or lunar observations. An inland site in a bowl valley but mainland Scottish coast can be seen to the South east across the Minches.
Easy to see from a minor road with a parking space opposite . Can be viewed without getting out of the car!
Canmore site no. 4303.
