Garrywilliams

Garrywilliam lies on the northwest tip of the Maharees Peninsula, looking west across the bay to Brandon. It takes it’s name from the site of a former castle in the area, SMR KEO27-001. The current landowner says that during his lifetime, clearance by tractor and plough uncovered this stone, at a depth of between one and two feet. Previous ploughing had been by horse and plough. The markings were noted and examined but with no definite conclusion. The stone was then moved to the edge of a low cliff. The area is known as Faill Dearg, “Red Cliff”. However, the sea erosion as is evidenced in the area, caused the stone to topple over to it’s present position directly below the low cliff The 3D image suggests that the markings are perhaps plough marks, as they continue across the stone.
