  • The Callanish II stone circle (Cnoc Ceann à Gharaidh) is one of many megalithic structures around the better-known (and larger) Calanais I on the west coast of the isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides (Western Isles), Scotland. This is an elliptical setting of five stones with a major axis of about 21 metres and a minor axis of about 19 metres. Originally there were a total of 10 stones of the ellipse with an 11th outlier. A cairn, eight and a half metres in diameter, was built in the circle a little to the east of centre. Post hole evidence suggests that there was an earlier timber structure on the same site, about 10 metres in diameter.
