Kilmore Stone Row
The menhirs ( English Standing Stones ) of the 18.3 m long row of stones from Kilmore (also called Cnoc Fada, Dervaig B or Dervaig center) are located 850 m east of Dervaig about 230 m northwest of the road B8073 from Dervaig to Tobermory , im Northwest of the Isle of Mull in Argyll and Bute in Scotland .
The Isle of Mull standing stones are unique to Scotland in that they are often arranged in rows ( Baliscate , Dervaig C , Maol Mor , Quinish ) of three to five stones.
The north-west-south-east oriented Kilmore stones stood hidden for a long time in a now cleared pine plantation on a hill. There are five basalt menhirs , of which only two (B and D) are in situ , the others are lying. The two upright stones are 2.4 and 2.5 m high, the lying stones are all 2.4 m long.
