Remains of a Recumbent Stone Circle, comprising of five standing stones and a recumbent stone situated in and around a cairn. Within the cairn is a kerb. In the centre is a circle of smaller stones. This smaller circle was opened in 1873 to a depth of 0.9 - 1.2 m (3-4 ft) at which time several large and flattish stones were found very irregularly placed, apparently the remains of some structure broken and tossed into the hole which had been formed in opening it. It had been probably a large stone cist. The main stone circle has been reduced to 6 stones from a probable original total of eight or nine. Two of the stones (only the west one is upright) form a pair set close together on the south side of the circle. The site is badly damaged. The stones average height 1.5 m, the recumbent is 2 m long. The cairn 16 m in diameter and 1.7 m high. Around 800 m to the southwest is Eslie the Greater RSC (NO79SW0002) while circa 900 m to the south is Nine Stanes RSC (NO79SW0008).
