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. The monument comprises three stones, only one of which is now standing, aligned northeast-southwest. The two end stones are 3m in length; the middle stone is roughly 2.7m long. The stones were likely set up in the 3rd or 2nd millennium BCE but sites of this type are difficult to date. 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.
