Log Text: After a yomp over boggy moorland, it was somewhat underwhelming to find three short stones in a line. Maybe I have been spoilt by Cornish stone rows, up to half a mile long, but I struggled to appreciate the significance of Callenish V.

Log Text: I wasn't convinced about the stone circle interpretation: stone circles are usually erected on flat ground. If it was a cairn where did all the stones go? The two standing stones are ill-matched. Callanish VI is a difficult site to interpret.

Log Text: The drawback with visiting Callanish in the summer is sharing the stones with lots of people. Seeing the stones in sunlight is a compensation.

Log Text: It is difficult to access Candle Hill Stone Circle: It is protected by an enclosure and vigorous shrubs. It is best to enter the enclosure on the SE corner adjacent to the remains of the circle. The circle is located c. 30 yards ESE of the centre of the knoll. The most obvious feature is the Candle Stone, a standing stone c. 15 feet W of a thorn tree. A grassy cairn is situated c. 6 feet S in the centre of the circle. Walk S round the cairn to reach the fallen recumbent stone and flankers on the S Arc of the circle. It is possible to find the fallen N,ENE,W and NW stones by walking round the perimeter of the circle, starting from the NNE Standing Stone. The N,ENE,W are largely buried in the turf with only a small area visible from above. The NW stone is hidden in gorse on the NW Arc.

Cantraybruich submitted by PeteCrane5 on 2nd Sep 2024. Four of the remain stones of Cantraybruich ... thought to be what's left of a Clava Cairn
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: The obvious remains of Cantraybruich Cairn are an arc of several standing stones on the grassy margin in the E corner of a field. It has been speculated that it is a destroyed Clava Cairn. In reality, the site is a jumble of recumbent stones which is difficult to interpret.
