Gleann Mor
Date Added: 21st Dec 2024
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Scotland (Isle of Harris)
Visited: Yes on 18th Jun 2023
Gleann Mor submitted by cornishstargazer on 18th Jun 2023. Looking down from the ridge above there is evidence of rocks being set in a circular way. The climb to the hill from the village was strenuous and reaching the site would involve a scramble down the other side. Ron and Margaret Curtis visited in 2009 producing a handy little booklet. They felt this was a stone circle with a flattened edge style. The interior of the circle had been levelled with some evidence of building up of the ESE side. 2 outlier stones may be local to the circle.
