The Callanish IV stone circle.

The Callanish IV stone circle is one of many megalithic structures around the more well-known (and larger) Standing Stones of Callanish on the west coast of the isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides (Western Isles), Scotland.

This is an elliptical setting of six stones with a major axis of about 13.5 metres and a minor axis of about 9 metres. Originally there may have been thirteen evenly spaced stones in the ring. The remains of a cairn, about 2 metres in diameter, can still be seen within the ring of stones.
