Dumgoyach Stones Stone Row / Alignment View all content for Dumgoyach Stones

There are 6 stones closely aligned from SW - NE. One remaines standing at 5 ft. The archaologist, Andrew Selkirk believed that this was not simply a stone alignment, but that what sits there today are the remains of a long cairn. Aubrey Burl goes along with this theory in his book 'Carnac to Callanish'. Charcoal was found here and the carbon was dated to 5400-5500 years. I'm not sure if the charcoal found, indicates that this may well have been a burial site.
