Update October 2019: Information about this stone row comes from the Stone Rows of Great Britain website - see their entry for Broughwhin IV, which was visited in June 2019, and includes a description, photographs of the alignment and some of the individual stones, plus access information and links to other online resources for more information.
The SRoGB tells us: "(this is) A single stone row measuring at least 20.9m long, including 5 small and medium-sized stones situated close to the crest of a steep west facing slope … The row forms part of a cluster including at least 10 stone rows near Loch Watenan and has definable visual links with the sea, nearby cairns, chambered cairns and stone rows".
The row is also recorded as part of Canmore ID 9017.
