A scatter of stones about 3m in diameter on the summit of The Aird is probably the remains of a modern marker cairn. To the S and SE (at NL 57038 80125 and NL 57048 80126) there are two prominent boulders, which appear to be entirely natural, and there are more boulders scattered across the flat hilltop to the SE. About 10m to the S of the boulders a rough line of large stones, representing either the remains of a bank or a line of field clearance, runs E-W for 10m. Finally, there are extensive traces of lazy bed cultivation across the flat hilltop around these features.
There is nothing to suggest that they are prehistoric standing stones as originally suggested by Foster and Krivanek (Branigan and Foster, 2000).
