Standing Stone (Menhir) in Islay
The site of this now long-gone standing stone is recorded as Canmore ID 377722, which says: "There is no trace of the standing stone that was situated about 270m NW of Neriby farmhouse. It is recorded (Ordnance Survey Name Book 1878) that in 1878 it measured about 2m in height and 0.5m in breadth."
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) also features a page for this site - see their entry for Neriby, Bridgend, Islay. TNA adds: "Anyone journeying this way might wanna scour the ground to see if the fella’s remains can be seen lying around anywhere – though the fact that an old quarry was dug hereabouts doesn’t bode well for a successful hunt. There are, however, remains of an old tumulus a bit further up the way…"
Note: Has anyone visited this site? Do you know if anything remains of this standing stone, last recorded in 1878?
