About half a mile SE of Ring of Brodgar, close to W side of
public road are two upright stones are 27ft 3in apart, the one
to the N., shows a decided inclination to the NE., and rises 9ft
above the ground, is 38in wide across the broad faces, and 16in
thick. Its companion, which leans to the SW., is 5ft 6in high,
16in broad and 16.5in thick. There are no visible traces of
packing with small stones at the base of either. A short distance
S are traces of a ruined cairn or mound (OR 1377), which is reported to have
yielded a number of relics. Nothing could be learned as to the
nature of these finds. [R1]
