A Quadruple Stone Row in Highland

Update October 2019: This stone row is featured on the Stone Rows of Great Britain website - see their entry for the Broughwhin stone row. The SRoGB tells us: "(this is) A fan-shaped multiple stone row measuring 33.5m long, including at least 7 small and medium-sized stones arranged in at least 4 separate lines and situated on a wide south facing terrace overlooking the sea. The row is orientated north east to south west and there is a cairn with cist at the upper north eastern end of the row. The row forms part of a cluster including at least 9 stone rows near Loch Watenan".

The Stone Rows of Great Britain's entry also includes photographs of the alignment and individual stones, a plan of the row showing its relationship to its associated cairn, access information and links to other online resources for more information.

This stone row, with associated cist, cairn and later quarry, are recorded as Canmore ID 9017 and as MHG42469 - Cist & Stone rows, Broughwhin on the Highland HER.
