Recorded as Canmore ID 10546, their 1980 entry says: "Standing stone 186 x 97 x 17cm orientated NW/SE. 2 prostrate stones visible; one lies about 9m south of standing stone and is 126cm long, about 11m from the standing stone lies the second 230cm long and 7m E of the other prostrate stone.
This site is immediately adjacent to the sea to the west, just south of Borve with an alignment of 135 degrees and an altitude of 12 metres. The Stone Rows of Great Britain's entry for the nearby S46 Scarista, Harris stone row tells us "Further standing stones in the vicinity may represent the remains of a stone circle. It is possible that these stones are either entirely natural or were placed to form a boundary."
This site is approximately 43 km south south west of the Callanish Standing Stones.
