markj99 visited on 15th Sep 2012 - their rating: Cond: 1 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Canmore ID 60935 relates the sadly familiar tale of a megalithic site destroyed by modern farming. Only 2 of the original stones remain in the garden of a bungalow called Druidslea, probably named after the stones. The standing stone in the front garden is allegedly in its original position but the second standing stone was moved to the back garden in 1991. Garleffin stones are like caged tigers in a zoo: they shouldn't be subjected to such indignity.
"Only stones designated E and F by the OS, remain in their original position, lying within the garden of a private house." - Canmore site no. 60935.
