Details Standing-stones, possibly the remains of a four-poster stone circle were recorded in 1994 during a pre-afforestation survey by AOC (Scotland) Ltd. There are four large stones, three are still standing up to a height of 0.6m and the fourth is collapsed, or recumbent. Together they form a rough rectangle, with a maximum diameter of 3m. The stones are sited on the crest of a low knoll, which overlooks the River Isla to the east.
