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.

Clach An Truishal submitted by SandyG on 12th Jan 2015. The stone stands close to the road and enjoys wonderful views to the sea. The ranging rod is 1m high although perhaps the chicken gives a better idea of scale. View from south east (30th August 2014).

Log Text: Car parking is available at NB 22492 32928. From here follow the path to Callanish 3 stone circle which is well worth visiting before heading south towards the high ground. Cross the boggy ground towards the gate that provides access to the field in which the row is situated. Visitors need to be aware that special care should be taken to protect against ticks. At the time of the visit large numbers of ticks were encountered at the stone row.

Log Text: Parking is available at NB 09964 36016 and access to the field at NB 10019 35867.
The stones appear to denote the edges of narrow, parallel banks which are on the same alignment as the lazy beds in this area. Whilst the reason why the banks in this area were denoted with edge set stones is not clear, it is possible to be confident that this is not a prehistoric stone alignment. The adjacent cairn may be the result of field clearance.

Access from the north is likely to be hampered or prevented by the deer fence. Whilst no ticks were encountered during the visit it would be wise to take particular care when visiting this row.
Finlaggan

Finlaggan submitted by Andy B on 13th Jun 2011. Finlaggan Standing Stone
A solitary Standing Stone , naturally predating the Lordship of the Isles. As ever various theories surround the placing and use of the stone. However in 1994 Geophysic surveys by the "Time Team" suggest that there may have originally been a line of stones marking the way to Jura.

This tall stone is clearly visible from the road to the north of Loch Gorm, but is hidden from view on the path leading in from Saligo Bay. It's worth the walk. There's a second smaller stone in the next square, just visible in the left-hand side of this shot below a rocky outcrop.
