Ask permission at the farm, parking is easy at the road end as there is plenty of room. Not visible from the road from Craignure, you can only see this heading south from Salen. Set out on a low mound, with a couple of possible kerb stones still in situ, there is one upright stone (about 1.3m tall) and one recumbent here. The 'kerb stones' may in fact be other recumbents - it's a bit hard to tell. Have a look at the photograph and make your own mind up! The stones are aligned NW/SE. There are no significant markings on any of the stones.
Update November 2019: This alignment is featured on the Stone Rows of Great Britain website - see their entry for Scallastle, which includes a description, a plan of the row from a survey carried out in June 2016, photographs of the alignment and its individual stones, access information and a list of online resources for more information. The SRoGB notes that the slight mound from which the stone protrude has been formed by later cultivation.
The row is also recorded as Canmore ID 22404 (Mull, Scallastle), which adds that the site is in a flat (arable) field about a furlong from the shore.
