This is a circle of four stones, only two of which stand. Whether the two recumbent stones ever stood is unclear. The south-east stone – the tallest at 1.5m – has 21 cup marks on it’s east face, include six with rings, and on the west face there are 16 cup marks.

The stones stand on a circle of diameter 11m, and have a great view down towards the Tay.
