Stone row in Kilbaylet Upper

Stone row

What is recorded here

Listed as an 'alignment' in the SMR (1986) and as a possible 'stone alignment' in the RMP (1995). At the summit of a small rock knoll on a steep W-facing slope overlooking a ravine. Two pairs of uprights, c. 5m apart along the line of an outcropping ridge. Of the NW pair, the largest stone (H 2m; Wth 1.30m; T 0.70m), leans to the NW. The pairs form an alignment NW-SE. While the stones appear to have been set upright their function is unknown. Compiled by: Matt Kelleher Date of upload: 21 December 2012
Likely dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, the stone row may have had ceremonial or ritual significance, possibly aligned with seasonal or astronomical events. Such arrangements are often associated with funerary practices or territorial markers in prehistoric landscapes.
