Carnan Gibegeo Propped Stone CG4
Carnan Gibegeo Propped Stone CG4 submitted by DavidShepherd : CG4: NB1384 3932. Some 15m southwest of CG3 on the loch-facing slope, 55cm x 200cm x 90cm. A tilted slab propped by a red stone akin to CG2. No similar coloured stones were found on the plateau. Indeed, there was no observable till save for the local erratics on the bedrock.
