Borve Standing Stones
Date Added: 4th Apr 2012
Site Type: Standing Stones

Borve Standing Stones submitted by Andy B on 26th Sep 2011. New Use for the Standing Stone at Borgh!
The 1940s OS map shows two standing stones at Borgh. The current map is correct in showing only one remaining upright - the southerly one has fallen over. It looks as though this remaining one could give way quite soon with this usage?
