Blanefield submitted by Creative Commons on 16th Mar 2014. Duntreath Standing Stones. The line of stones shown here is located at the high point of a field, not far from the West Highland Way (the tops of these stones can be seen on the skyline from the adjacent section of that route). The hill that is prominent in the background is Dumgoyach.
Five stones can be seen in the photograph; another lies hidden by the tall grass between the leftmost two stones.

Log Text: Limited car parking is available at NS 53342 79669. From here walk north along the West Highland Way to NS 53280 80509 and take the path leading north.
A radio-carbon date of 2860 +/- 270 bc suggests that it was erected in the Middle Neolithic period. The Middle Neolithic date combined with the closeness of the stones and the presence of an associated mound suggests that this is more likely to represent the remnants of a chambered cairn facade than a stone row.
