Ballymeanoch, Prehistoric stone alignment in Kilmartin Glen, Scotland.
The Ballymeanoch site contains four tall stones arranged in a row, alongside two parallel stones and a separate stone with a carved hole.
The stone alignment, constructed around 2000 BC, features ancient cup and ring markings carved into the middle stones of the main arrangement.
These standing stones represent early human ceremonies and burial practices, with the central stones containing more than 70 prehistoric cup mark engravings.
Visitors can access the site from the Dunchraigaig Cairn parking area on the A819, following a short walk through the fields toward the stone rows.
The fallen holed stone, documented as upright in the 1800s and moved in 1977, displays a deliberate perforation through its center.
