Drumtroddan standing stones

The Drumtroddan standing stones (grid reference NX 36449 44300) are a small Neolithic or Bronze Age stone alignment in the parish of Mochrum, Wigtownshire, Dumfries and Galloway.

[1] The monument comprises three stones, only one of which is now standing, aligned northeast-southwest.

[3] The stones were likely set up in the 3rd or 2nd millennium BCE but sites of this type are difficult to date.

[2] Short stone row alignments are considered to be relatively late constructions; however, the height of the stones in this monument may indicate that it dates from an earlier period.

[2] The standing stones are part of larger landscape of prehistoric sites which includes the nearby Drumtroddan cup and ring marked rocks and the Big Balcraig cup and ring marked rocks.
