Calanais/Callanish XV, Circebost, Great Bernera/BeÃ rnaraigh

From Discovery and Excavation in Scotland, 1976: "On grassy ridge 100m N of road, 25m E of track through Croft 24, Kirkibost. A large prone slab approx. 3.55m x 1.35m, thickness varying from 0.25-0.45m, lying in peat on a grassy ridge. The lower end appears to be surrounded by packing stones and there is a void under the centre of the stone. This stone was brought to our notice by Mr Norman MacDonald of Kirkibost."

Possible fallen standing stone, Circebost, Great Bernera/BeÃ rnaraigh

This stone lies approximately 80m ESE of NB1734 : Calanais/Callanish XV, Circebost, Great Bernera/Beàrnaraigh. The croft owner, who is the grandson of Norman MacDonald who originally brought Callanish XV to archaeologists' attention, believes it to be fallen standing stone.

Looking down at Circebost

Circebost or Kirkibost is a tiny settlement on Great Bernera. This island is now connected to Lewis by a short pre-stressed concrete bridge. In 1953 when it was built it was and remains the first bridge of such material in Europe. The settlemenr is also important as it is the first planned crofting township in the Outer Hebrides, though I think town is a lofty description for such a small group of houses.
