**Dervaig centre** submitted by SandyG : Looking south along the row. 4 June 2016. (Vote or comment on this photo)

A row of five stones in Mull, three of which have fallen. This stone row sits on the hillside above Dervaig, and is signposted. Originally 5 stones, oriented NNW-SSE, only two are now upright, but it is still quite a stirring sight. Both the upright stones are around 2.5m in height.

Previouisly looking down an avenue formed by trees which have now been felled, the stones are still rather evocative and it's now easier to see their original setting.

For more information see Canmore site no. 22114.

Update October 2019: This alignment is featured on the Stone Rows of Great Britain website - see their entry for Dervaig, Centre, which includes a description, a plan of the row from a recent survey carried out in June 2016, photographs of the alignment and the individual stones, plus access information and a list of online resources for more information.

The SRoGB includes several photographs illustrating the restricted sea views from the row, adding: "The stone row is situated in the lee of a prominent knoll restricting views to the nearby sea. Two modern viewpoints in the vicinity illustrate the magnitude of the views available from this area but instead the row was placed in a position where the views from it are very limited".
