Callanish III.

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

This is a complex setting of 17 stones variously described as a double ellipse and as two concentric circles with an inner cove.

It is just a few hundred metres from the Callanish II stone circle.
