Standing Stone Near Carsphairn
Standing Stone Near Carsphairn
This large, plain standing stone leans against a dry-stane dyke. The group of prehistoric features of this area indicates an ancient centre of population. The stone is close to a Caledonian Stone Circle NX5594 : Holm of Daltallochan Stone Circle and a Bronze Age burial cairn NX5693 : Lagwyne Burial Cairn. There's also a fine early Christian Cross-Slab, but this lies on private ground.
