Details Recumbent stone circle, circa 20m in diameter, within which there is a well defined ring cairn circa 17m in diameter. Of the stone circle only the recumbent, its west flanker and two other stones are in situ, though a number of fallen stones remain. Within this there has been a circular mound of small stones with an outer kerb formed of large slabs set end to end, enclosing a central area 2.74m in diameter, free of stones. Stuart noted the remains of a dyke 'running from the stone on the northwest in a north direction towards a small cairn'. Now no trace of these features due to afforestation. The stone circle is also known as Tillyfourie.
