Standing stones by the view point above Dervaig I think this is what RCAHMS's Canmore describe this as '3 standing stones, now forming part of a dyke, midway between the five well-known standing stones and the Dervaig road. One is broken to a stump, and they are much overgrown, but they seem to have formed a row in line with the 5 already mentioned'.
