Callanish X, Neolithic stone circle in Outer Hebrides, Scotland.

The stone arrangement of Callanish X consists of carefully positioned megaliths forming an elliptical pattern measuring 21 meters by 19 meters.

Archaeological excavations at Callanish X revealed evidence of a wooden structure measuring 10 meters in diameter that existed before the stone circle construction.

The stone circle stands as part of a collection of 21 separate monuments in the area, demonstrating the social organization of Neolithic communities.

Visitors can locate Callanish X one kilometer east of Callanish I, accessible via the A858 road approximately 25 kilometers west of Stornoway.

The central area of Callanish X contains an 8.5-meter-diameter cairn positioned slightly east of the circle's center point.
