| STONE CIRCLE (Remains of) wBridge of Isauld] | Supposed Stone Circle (remains of) | Mr James Sutherland Mary's Cottage Mr William Innes Reay Mr Gunn, Schoolmaster Reay |
010 | About 15 Chains west of the Bridge of Isauld - and on each side of the turnpike road are several large stones which form a circle - some of them are imbedded in the sand - others have been knocked over and broken and by all appearance will be removed for building puposes - as several stones have been broken and taken away from this circle to build dykes. I can get little or no information about it as it is not many years since the sand drifted and partly uncovered the stones. I here give a sketch of the principal one - (marked Standing Stone in trace) Its height exceeds five feet - breadth 2 1/2 ft thickness about 1 3/4 ft - I may here mention that there are the remains of ancient middens at and near these stones - in which may be found sea shells, bones of animals, stones blackened and chared by fire - and bronze pins and needles are frequently found - there are also traces of ruins almost all the stones of which have been removed for building purposes. |
