These three standing stones, which are situated in a clearing in Blackpark Plantation, are generally as described by the Ordnance Survey, though the exact form of the original monument is unknown. The current disposition of the stones is the same as that depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Buteshire 1869, sheet CCXV), but since then at least one of them has fallen and been re-erected. On the S face of the southernmost stone, a large block of conglomerate, there is a small incised cross with expanded terminals and more recent graffiti.
