Callanish VI ("Cùl a' Chleit") is a pair of standing stones near the summit of Cùl a' Chleit—a small rocky hill on the Isle of Lewis. It one of many megalithic structures around the more well-known and larger Calanais I on the west coast of Lewis, in the Western Isles of the Outer Hebrides, Scotland.
Description
editThe larger stone measures 1.7 metres in height, while the other, which stands 17 metres to the southwest, is 0.9 metres tall.[1] Some 6 metres west-northwest of the taller stone is a flat slab 1.6 metres long, with another prostrate stone, 1.5 metres long, lying immediately to the south of it.[1]
A field surveyor who visited the site in 1914 suggested that the standing stones were the remains of a stone circle, but this conjecture remains unproven.[1]
