Stone Circle in Isle of Skye
A mound is seemingly all that remains of this stone circle, and is featured on The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) - see their entry for the Temple of Anaitis, Lusta, Waternish, Skye.
The TNA page gives directions for finding this site, together with an image of the 1880 OS map showing the location of the circle and a number of descriptions from 19th and 20th century historical reference material, adding: "This is a curious place, full of archaeological potential if the folklore and history records are owt to go by, yet little of any substance remains to substantiate what may have been an important stone circle or other heathen site in earlier times."
