New Statistical Account (NSA) 1845 (T Nelson)
The circle at Blelock (since renamed Pitsundry) consisted of a central upright monolith, at one time surrounded by a circle of erect stones, probably twelve in number, 40ft in diameter. The farmer had removed several of the circle of stones: some were buried near their former positions.

A single stone, 1.6m high and having several cup marks on its SE face, stands at NO 0561 3444. There are no indications of a stone circle and the farmer has not encountered any large stones while ploughing.
