SandyG visited on 20th Aug 2017 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 2 Access: 2 Car parking is available at NR 50672 64747. From here follow the forest track to NR 51986 64770. Enter the forest and walk uphill until you reach the small clearing containing the stones. Access from the north is likely to be hampered or prevented by the deer fence. Whilst no ticks were encountered during the visit it would be wise to take particular care when visiting this row.
Aside from a 6-foot standing stone, there is a prostrate stone 9-feet long, a 7-foot prostrate stone 15-feet to the S, and a prostrate rectangular slab 4-feet long next to the latter. The flat face of the standing stone is aligned N-S, but the alignment between the standing stone and the nearby 9-foot prostrate stone is NNE-SSW (azimuth = 200 degrees). It is difficult to determine where the additional two prostrate stones fit into the original arrangement.
Canmore site no. 38247.
Update November 2019: This alignment is featured on the Stone Rows of Great Britain website - see their entry for Sannaig, which includes a description, a plan of the row from a survey carried out in August 2017, a drawing of the stones from 1932 by Rideout, photographs of the alignment and its individual stones, access information and a list of online resources for more information.
The SRoGB asks visitors to note: "Access from the north is likely to be hampered or prevented by the deer fence. Whilst no ticks were encountered during the visit it would be wise to take particular care when visiting this row".
