Calanais III and Calanais IV, Lewis
Main Article
Calanais III - Cnoc Fillibher Bheag
An outer ring now with 8 standing stones and 5 fallen ones, with an inner group of 4 distinctive stones.
Calanais IV - Ceann Thulabhaig
An oval ring now with 5 standing stones, and the remains of a low cairn inside.
There are many more circles, monoliths and burial cairns, some still extant, some collapsed, in the wider Calanais landscape, extending as far as the Island of Great Bernera, to Achmore, to Lochs, Stornoway and An Rubha, all of which appeared to have had a significant relationship with the features on the southern horizon.
