This is the large stone as seen from the roadside, the second stone can just be seen on the left shoulder.

This is the other stone, further back from the other one. Very different with a covering of moss and lichens.

    i come from the close by village of Wolfhill. The site is probably better named "Loanhead" as this is the name of the nearest farm owned by the Fenton family who own all the land around. Craigmakerran is actually the name of the large house situated on the cliff down the road. I often walk past the stones, such a shame to see them hidden in the trees with very poor access. i think the site should get more recognition as they are situated on a farm back road and many people are unaware of there presence. Thanks for posting them on your website!
