Callanish III
Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox ancient site The Callanish III stone circle (Template:Langx[1]) is one of many megalithic structures around the better-known (and larger) Calanais I on the west coast of the Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland.
Description
The stone circle consists of two concentric ellipses.[2] The outer ring measures about 13.7 by 13.1 metres.[2] It contains 13 stones, of which eight are still standing and five have fallen.[1] The inner ring is a pronounced oval measuring 10.5 by 6.6 metres.[2] Only four stones remain in the inner circle, the tallest of which measures 2.1 metres.[1] There is no sign of a central mound or cairn.[2]
It is just a few hundred metres from the Callanish II stone circle. See also Callanish IV, Callanish VIII and Callanish X for other minor sites.
