Two large upright granite boulders are situated on a terrace on an otherwise S-facing slope some 310m N of Dunecht School. The two stones are aligned ESE and WNW, the E stone measuring 1.8m in breadth by 0.55m in thickness at ground-level and 2.1m in height, and the W stone (3.1m to the WNW) 1.6m in by 0.9m and about 2.9m in height. On the W side of the latter, at a height of 0.95m, there is a cupmark measuring about 90mm in diameter and 20mm in depth. On the S face of the stone there are the heavily weathered remains of a Pictish comb and mirror symbol. A pile of field-cleared stones between and to the N of the two uprights includes a large boulder that measures 2.9m in length from E to W by 1.4m in breadth and 1.1m in thickness, but old photographs show that none was present in 1924,.
