A single standing stone marks the site of this stone circle, which was first recorded on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Aberdeenshire 1869, sheet lxxiv). By then, it had already been reduced to two stones standing some 18m apart, but some time after 1976 (see photographs by Meek) the NW stone was removed. This stone now stands on the field dyke about 30m W of its original position, but only 5 of the eight cupmarks recorded on it by Ritchie in 1919 can now be identified. On the E side of the dyke, a further 19.5m to the S, a third granite slab has been erected. Measuring 1.45m from N to S by 0.45m transversely at ground level by 2.1m in height, it bears several plough scars on its W face and has evidently been ploughed up.
