Situated on heather-covered moorland about 140m ESE of the Grey Cairn (NO15NW 1), these nine large boulders are set roughly in a circle from 7m to 7.5m in diameter. None of the stones is erect; some are prone and others lean heavily outwards. The larger stones are situated on the S arc and the largest, which measures 1.2m in length and 1m in width, lies recumbent on the WSW. A probable outlying stone is situated some 10m to the NNW.
An excavation (the trenches of which are still visible) carried out in the 19th century (Stuart 1868) recovered 'charred wood' from the centre and 'burned bones' from near the S margin.
