Taken with a zoom. Not visited more closely due to a heavy shower of rain (pathetic, really).

2.1 m and said to contain at least four cupmarks.

My next stop exploring the south side of the B8024 would be to follow the first minor road heading south. As soon as a clearing in the trees is reached look south east, Achadh-Chaorann Standing Stone should be easily spotted.

The well shaped slab stands at 2.1m high in a field which has been well maintained by the local greenkeepers. Cup marks are still there but barely visible almost weathered to invisibility. Plenty room to park at the first corner south of the site.

Nearby Ardpatrick, a hillfort, can wait until 2025, the legs weren’t feeling very happy.

Achadh-Chaorann is a short distance to the east of the Carse stone row – along the same road.

The rain was by now coming down hard and we were running late for the ferry so I had to settle for a ‘drive by’. The stone is visible from the main road.

I was initially disappointed not to have a closer loot at the stone and its cup marks but as it turns out we only just made the ferry so it turned out to be a blessing in disguise :)

Hopefully I will get a proper when next in the area?
