Situated on level ground, in the southern corner of a partially cleared wood, are three large stones (two recumbent) in a roughly straight line running NNE - SSW with a further recumbent stone partially embedded in a boundary bank.
The four stones are not certainly indicative of a circle and the authority for publishing them, the Rev Park, cannot be considered reliable. Mrs Stewart can have no further information and is clearly making several assumptions. Even if this were a stone circle it would be considerably larger than her 24ft diameter.
At a distance of 15.0m to the N of the stones is a segment of a slight curving bank with outer ditch, which terminates at each end on the boundary of the wood. The bank is 2.5m wide and the ditch 2.0m wide and 0.5m deep. It would appear to be a relatively modern work.
The name 'Cupar Stone' is not known locally.
Re-surveyed at 1/2500.
Visited by OS (JP), 30 November 1970.
