Details Standing-stone, possibly the remains of a stone circle. The stone is about 2.7 m high and about 1.9 m broad at the base. It is oriented east-west and is situated on the top of Kirriemuir Hill. The NSA and Reid noted a fragment of stone, 3.9 m long, lying on the ground, but this had disappeared by 1909. Reid suggested that this represented the remnants of a stone circle, but the NSA records that the recumbent stone was part of the standing-stone, its tapering top, which had been knocked off. Sherriff, in 1981, re-opened the debate over a possible stone circle by noting that there is a small upright boulder in the field-wall 6m to the east of the standing-stone.
