The west-east-oriented menhir ( English standing stone ) Camas an Staca is located in the south of the Hebridean island of Jura in Argyll and Bute in Scotland .
It has a height of 3.5 m and a width of 1.2 m. It stands on the edge of a large heap of stones about 0.6 m high with larger stones at the north end.
The menhir is in an overgrown, furrowed area. The supposedly irregular Cairn seems to consist of reading stones . There is no evidence of curbs or a stone box .
