These two standing stones stand high on a ridge overlooking Strathearn with magnificent views south to the Ochils and beyond to the Lomonds of Fife, although they are themselves overlooked by the Braes of Fowlis stones on the next ridge.

The stones are approximately 1.65m and 1.85m tall and stand on pronounced mounds beside a small burn.

A line drawn from the centre of these stones to the New Fowlis cairn would have passed through the original position of the Thorn cup-marked boulder.
