These 3 stones stand in an almost straight line WNW-ESE on the lower north-western slopes of Bashaval. None is more than 0.5m high today, but they are embedded in peat and would have previously stood much higher. They are about 15m and 35m apart.
Update October 2019: This row is featured on the Stone Rows of Great Britain website - see their entry for Blathaisbhal (Blashaval), which includes a description, photographs of the row and the individual stones, a plan of the row, access information and illustrations of the landscape views from the row.
The row is also recorded as Canmore ID 10347.
