markj99 visited on 1st Mar 2022 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 3 Terally Bay Standing Stone is easily visited by parking up 250 yards S on the shore at NX 12303 41083, walking N via a gateway at NX 12278 41151 to reach the broken stone, adjacent to the A716 Drummore road.
This stone is in the form of a slab about 2.5 feet high. It is just above the A716 and has a superb view over the Bay.
For more information see Canmore site no. 61121 which adds: "This standing stone is situated on the edge of the raised beach 140m North of Terally Bridge. It measures 1.05m in breadth, tapering in thickness from 0.4m at the SW side to 0.25m at the NE side, and its top has been broken off 1.1m above the ground. There is no evidence that the stone is associated with the adjacent long cist cemetery."
