About 135 m to the WNW of NR89NW 51, at the corner of an arable field and 29 m NE of the standing stones (NR89NW 14), there is a kerb-cairn (Campbell and Sandeman 1964, No. 66). A drainage ditch has removed a small portion of the E arc of the cairn, but originally it was roughly circular on plan, measuring about 6.9 m in diameter over a kerb of upright boulders, and it now stands to a height of 0.7 m. Stone-robbing has reduced the number of kerbstones to eleven, and several of the remainder survive only as stumps; the stones of the kerb, however, appear to have been graded in height, with the tallest (up to 1.4 m high) on the SW.
