Standing Stones, Maol Mor, Dervaig: In a clearing in forestry on the level top of the broad ridge of Maol Mor, and immediately to the S of the isolated rocky summit, there is a linear setting of four stones extending from NNW to SSE over a distance of 10.4m.
Stone A on plan is prone and measures 2.45m in length, 0.85m in
breadth, and 0.5m in thickness; part of the base has been broken off.
Stone B, measuring 2.1m in height and 0.9m by 0.6m at the base, rises with straightish sides to a rounded top.
Stone C measures 2.2m in height and 1m by 0.7m at the base; the lower half of the S side exhibits a marked triangular projection, after which the stone tapers to a pointed top.
Stone D measures 2.1m in height and 1.2m by 0.85m at the base; it tapers to a flattish top.
