Callanish III, Stone circle at Loch Roag, Isle of Lewis, Scotland.
The Callanish III site features thirteen standing stones forming a circle with a diameter of 11.4 meters and a central monolith reaching 4.8 meters high.
Archaeological excavations near the stone circle revealed evidence of agricultural activities and ceremonial practices dating back to 3000 BC during the Neolithic period.
The stone formation includes three separate stone rows leading to the circle and a northern avenue extending 83.2 meters with nineteen stones along its path.
The site remains open to visitors despite the ongoing redevelopment of the visitor center, with access available through the top road overlooking Loch Roag.
A chambered tomb located east of the central stone within the circle indicates the site's evolution from its initial construction through subsequent modifications.
