Peat cutting in 2010 totally exposed the upper face of the sloping megalith partly exposed in 2009 (DES 2009, 182–183). It is 1.44m tall, 0.86m at its widest and is 0.08m thick. There is a broken piece at one side. The top may have been broken deliberately, as has one of the other megaliths. (See Achmore Stone Circle, 20, 21). The trenches in which some megaliths were located (DES 1981, 51) had become

filled with water. The peat cutter/crofter cut channels in 2010 to drain the water, re-exposing several megaliths.
