NR 512 664. Situated in a small clearing in a Forestry Commission plantation about 1.5 km wsw of Craighouse Post Office there are the remains of a setting of four standing stones.

Only one stone (A) remains upright, standing to a height of 2.4 m with its longer axis aligned NE and SW; it measures 0.65m by 0.35m at the base and rises with straight sides to a pointed top. On the SE face, at a height of 0.6m above ground level, there is a circular depression 50mm in diameter by 10mm in depth which may be a cup-mark.

Stones B, C and D have all fallen and measure respectively 2.9m, 2.4m and 2.4m in length; 0.6m, 0.6m and 0.4m in breadth; and 0.25m, 0.15m and 0.3m in thickness.
