On a hillside overlooking Loch Craignish, Kintraw in Argyll, Scotland, is a large standing stone with a burial cairn on either side. A drawing by Edward Lhuyd from 1699 shows the cairns and standing stone and depicts a large ring of small stones to the north west of the cairns, with four of the stones aligned to the south. The ring of stones can still be seen and two large boulders in the foundations of a ruined building and a gateway in a wall might be the remains of the four stone alignment.
