Went to this stone circle in early March 2014, be warned though we had to cross the river to reach it (and in the process got extremely wet!) the place was covered in snow and looked absolutely beautiful. There''s a small layby which you can park your car in if you need to. Lovely setting :)

A small stone circle exists almost directly opposite Dun Grugaig. South of the stone circle there exists a series of mounds (man made?) which merit further investigation. I believe the purpose of the man made structures in the Glen Beag valley (Neolithic to Iron age) should be looked at more closely

Were you looking for a free-standing monument? Canmore says that this is a probable stone setting, possibly a four-poster incorporated into a later farmstead. go to link for details - Gleann Beag

      The co-ordinates lead to a hilly area full of rocks and stones in the Grampian Mountains. It's possible that it's impossible to distinguish between rocks and megaliths.
      More exact co-ordinates would help.
