Remains of a recumbent stone circle, also named Clune Wood. The circle, measuring 17.5 m by 16.7 m, consists of a recumbent stone, with its flankers and six other stones, three of which have fallen with one now in pieces, all of red granite. The recumbent is on the south side and measures roughly 3 m long, 1 m high and weighs over nine tons. On its outer surface are cup-like marks, caused by weathering. The centre of the circle is occupied by a cairn ,measuring circa 15.3 m by 13.9 m, very similar to the almost contiguous ring cairn NO79SE0003 immediately to the east. The central hollow (circa 5.48 m in diameter) appears to have been enlarged by excavations in the past. The site is in a forestry plantation, and is nearly as described by Ritchie in 1880, except that at that time only two stones had fallen, and the cairn was less mutilated and resembled more like the ring cairn that it is.
