NO79NE 30 7827 9597.

This severely robbed ring-cairn is situated 590m SW of Upper Balfour farmhouse within a field-system and cairnfield (NO79NE 28). It measures 18m in diameter over all by a maximum of 0.5m in height, but in some places the cairn material has been almost totally removed. At least twelve outer and seven inner kerbstones are visible, and the interior measures about 3m in diameter. Immediately outside the line of the inner kerb on the NW, there are two slabs set in a line running from NE to SW 0.6m apart.

RCAMS 1984, visited March 1984.
