SandyG visited on 6th Jun 2016 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 3 Visited without doing research first. I was looking for two stones. The upright stone is easy to spot but the recumbent one is a bit more difficult. I did find a recumbent stone that looked about right, but it was not the right one. I suppose it is possible that there were once more standing stones at this spot, but the proximity of the cliff means that at least some of the large slabs are probably natural.

A Pair of Standing Stones in Mull, one of which has fallen.
