This little known stone row lies near Luncarty in Perthshire.Two stones lie about 8 inches apart,one standing 3.5ft the other nearly 3ft pointed towards another single stone at Over Benchil near Stanley 2km to the north east.
Both sites are quartzose schist and contain some wonderful displays of crystals.This site is very difficult to reach and permission must be sought from the landowner as they stand 100 metres from the track in planted crops.
Note: The site is on private land - permission should be sought from the landowner before visiting.
