Park at the Mull Pottery and take the track just north of the buildings which leads west up-hill. The stones are around 400m in, on a raised platform. There are 3 stones here, the centre one being recumbent. The northern stone is the larger, being just over 2.5m in height. The row runs roughly N-S, and the southern stone is well under 2m. The central recumbent stone looks as if it would have been the largest, it's around 3m long in its current position.
This is a p...

Broomend Of Crichie Stone Circle / Henge submitted by golux on 8th Jan 2012. View looking S across the henge to stone A in the middle distance; the ditch running horizontally across the middle of the picture is the disproportionally large boundary ditch of the henge. This ditch has breaks on the S and N sides where the "avenue" passes through (the N break is partly visible above the rightmost stone) and was originally surrounded and screened from view by a high narrow outer bank. According to Bradley (2006), the entire earthwork was unstable and that the bank collapsed ...

Broomend of Crichie Avenue submitted by golux on 13th Jan 2012. Once there were two stone circles here, joined to one another by an avenue of paired monoliths. Of this double row or "avenue" of maybe 80 stones, only 4 survive.
According to Maitland and other authorities a double line of stones about 18m apart extended from a point 450 yards south of the circle, where a number of cist burials were discovered, up to the circle and then on to a second circle (Broomend of Crichie North circle), an overall length of about 500 yards.

Tom Nan Carragh submitted by cosmic on 4th Aug 2004. Tom Nan Carragh at NJ011246 in Highland region is a dog leg of three stones. The end stones are not visible form each other due to the lie of the land although all three stones are about seven feet high and about 100m apart. The bearing between the East stone and the middle is about 40 degrees whilst between the middle and West it is nearer 80 degrees.

A closer view of the stones
It is said that these stones were erected here by Fingal and his fellow hunters to suspend a pot in which whole deer were cooked over a fire to make venison stew.
