A cairn and a four-poster stone circle are located next to each other in rough grassland at the SW end of a broad ridge about 1.2km NE of Bagbie farmsteading. The cairn (Cree94 74) measures 13.5m in diameter and 1.2m in height. Two upright stones 1.5m apart on the ESE edge of the cairn, and a third edge-set slab on the NE are probably the remains of a kerb. The centre of the cairn has been disturbed.

The four poster lies immediately to the NE of the cairn (NX 4980 5640). The stone which would have stood at the ENE corner has fallen, but the other three stones remain upright: up to 0.75m high and roughly square in section, with sides about 0.5m broad, they are set in a right angle with centres 2m apart (Cree94 75).
