Remains of a stone circle, probably of the Four-Poster type. Three large boulders, situated close together in a small triangle, being 3.6 m apart. The largest boulder lies to the northeast and measures 1.5 m x 1.2 m x 1.0 m. That to the northwest is 1.2 m x 1.0 m x 0.5 m. The third is prone and thickly overgrown with vegetation. A. Burl interprets these as the three remaining stones of a Four-Poster stone circle, with the stones forming the corners of a square, and he further speculates that it has been 'Christianised' (removal or toppling of one stone results in three upright stones, which allows trinitarian imagery). The westernmost of the three surviving stones of this probable Four-Poster was knocked down by a wind-thrown tree early in 1993. The stone was re-erected by the estate under the supervision of Historic Environment Scotland's Area Inspector and Warden. Investigation of the socket prior to re-erection revealed white quartz fragments and pebbles.
