Dirlot

Stone Row / Alignment

thelonious May 16, 2015

11/05/2015 – On the way back from Backlass stone circle we had a look at these stone rows at Dirlot. Parking in a nearby passing place, it’s a short walk to the site. The stones are small and quite hidden in the heather. It was fun walking the side of the hill trying to find the rows. Canmore state ‘possibly twenty rows’, we didn’t find that many but there are a good few visible. Two small cairns are situated on the knoll just above the rows. Worth a look.
