Full Description
Remains of a stone circle, of which only two stones remain. The west stone has Pictish symbols carved on it, now barely visible - a mirror and comb, and a mirror case. It also bears two cup-marks on the south and west faces. The space between the stones has been used for field clearance dumping.
