Callanish IV, Stone circle in Isle of Lewis, United Kingdom

Five standing stones form an oval structure measuring 13.3 by 9.5 meters, with stones reaching heights between 2 to 2.7 meters at this location.

The megalithic structure dates back to 3000-2500 BC and features a central dilapidated cairn containing a 60-centimeter high upright slab.

The stone circle represents part of the significant Neolithic and Bronze Age assemblages in North West Europe, contributing to understanding ancient settlement patterns.

The site offers free access throughout the year, and visitors can find parking spaces near the stone circle for convenient exploration.

A prehistoric quartz quarry lies southeast of the stone circle, while archaeological evidence remains preserved under undisturbed deep peat surrounding the monument.
