Kilmory Castle Standing Stone
Kilmory Castle Standing Stone submitted by DavidHoyle : Rather smallish stone about 4 feet tall by about the same wide. Quite thin though. The stone is in the middle of a wood so no views to speak of. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Kilmory Castle Standing Stone submitted by DavidHoyle : Just on the other side of the track to the stone is a "wall" made up very similar sized stones - I'm guessing but this might once have been part of a structure, maybe a cairn. If it is then there is very little left (Vote or comment on this photo)
