SandyG visited on 4th Jun 2016 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 5 Access: 2 Parking available at NM 54770 48758 and access from the highway at NM 54592 49183. Follow track to NM 54523 49119 then head up the hill to the row.
Update August 2019: There are two stone rows and three kerbed cairns making up this site. All three now have their own site pages. See Ardnacross North and Ardnacross Cairns in nearby sites below.
The southern stone row is featured on the Stone Rows of Great Britain website - see their entry for Ardnacross, South, which includes photographs, a plan of the north and south rows and their associated cairns, plus links to other online resources and access information.
Both rows and their associated cairns are also recorded as Canmore ID 22265, which gives details of excavations in the 1990s. The SRoGB also gives a link to the excavation report (North Mull Project, Excavations at Ardnacross 1989-91) - click on Journal for the History of Astronomy, Archaeoastronomy Supplement, Vol. 24, p.S55 for more information.
DavidHoyle has also provided a link to Lunar Sites Scotland: Ardnacross, Island of Mull for more information.
