Nether Largie Standing Stones

The standing stones of Nether Largie are aligned approximately north-east-south-west, about 250 m south-east of the stone circles of Temple Wood. They form an X.

They may have once formed an avenue - todayt hey consist mainly of four groups. At the ends of the stone rows there is a pair of stones, with groups of four and five stones (up to 2.85m in height) in between. A single standing stone is located 100 m north-west of the row.

The stones may have been erected about 3200 years ago. Three of them carry cupmarks. Such cup and ring carvings are thought to date back to a period 1,500 years earlier still.
