Steinacleit
Date Added: 25th Sep 2014
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Scotland (Isle of Lewis)
Visited: Yes on 10th Sep 2014
Steinacleit submitted by SandyG on 10th Sep 2014. View from above and north west. This is an enigmatic site which would be at home in the South West of England but is very lonely on the Western Isles. A substantial irregular shaped enclosure attached to the structure strongly supports the idea that this site is an orthostatic round house.

Stanton Drew - Avenue submitted by TimPrevett on 18th Aug 2006. For evidence of the avenue, go past the NE circle, and look for the linear earthwork. The line is visible here on the LH corner of the picture; the group is on another part of the earthwork. Looking on the aerial pics, and on the ground, this can be traced from 3 o'clock to 12 o'clock outside the Great and NE circles. I did have an excellent picture of this from the ground, but have accidentally overwritten it!

Log Text: A true palimpsest with remains of different periods all jumbled up together. At one point a prehistoric round house wall is overlain by a medieval field boundary which in turn underlies a post-medieval wall. Truly amazing. This is the sort of thing that you usually only see on excavations.

Log Text: Limited car parking is available at NY 83118 75082. From here follow the track south looking out for the small four-stone circle at NY 82942 74717. Follow the track past Great Lonbrough and onto the access land at NY 81612 73313. From here it is a short walk west to the stones.
There are a number of separate and connected reasons for doubting the prehistoric stone row interpretation of this site:-
In places there seems to be a rubble bank between the upright stones.
At one point near to the sheep fold there is a clear lynchet along the orientation of the feature
At the northern end, the feature descends a very steep slope. No other row is known to do this.
A line of lines at NY 81514 73328 suggests that the feature turns at a right angle and heads east from NY 81499 73317. Severe shifts of alignment such as this are not a characteristic of stone rows but are common in field boundaries
The spacing between the rows is inconsistent
The form of the feature is similar to prehistoric boundary walls
The southern part of the feature is orientated on a pronounced kink in a boundary bank.
On the basis of the available evidence it would therefore appear unlikely that this feature represents the remains of a prehistoric stone row and instead is more likely to be the partly robbed remains of a field boundary, probably of prehistoric date because historic boundaries in the vicinity appear to be of the ditch and bank type.
