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
[edit]The 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]
