The Ardamore Standing Stone Alignment is a Bronze Age arrangement of three large stones, which are each over two metres in height.
The row of stones is oriented to the setting sun at Winter Solstice; the sun aligns with the stones and appears to roll down the bottom of the valley and into the sea.
About 60 metres northeast of the stone alignment is a huge outlier stone, which is 2.9m in height and 2m wide.
The northwest face of the stone has multiple rock art motifs, including a cup with two circles and two cups with a single ring, and seven plain cup marks.
Getting to the Ardamore Standing Stones
The Ardamore Standing Stones and Outlier are in a fenced field on private property (52.13282, -10.15872), but public access is (currently) allowed. To get there you need to follow an unsealed road which can be quite muddy/boggy.
