A: The most northerly stone is erect, has a pointed top and measures 8' 4" by 2' by 1'. It is lozenge - shaped in section.
B: The central stone, is 6' south of A. It is leaning to the NE and, like A, has a pointed top and is lozenge-shaped in section. It measures 10' by 1' 8" by 1'.
C: The most southerly stone is fallen and is too deeply bedded in the turf for the thickness to be measured. Length and breadth are 11' and 2' respectively. This stone, unlike A and B,has a rounded top.
Along a ridge running south behind the stones are several small ruins, oval and rectangular, in old cultivation.
