Field Visit (May 1983)
There are three groups of standing stones situated NW and NE of Dunamuck on the level ground on the W side of the River Add.
The first group, comprising three stones, of which the central one has fallen, is situated about 750m NNE of Dunamuck (Campbell and Sandeman 1964). The two upright stones are 4.4m apart, with their longer axes aligned roughly NNW and SSE. The most northerly stone measures 2.63m in height and 1.35m by 0.35m at ground level. The fallen stone measures 3.75m by 0.8m and 0.3m in thickness. The third stone is almost 3m high and measures 1.6m by 0.35m at the base.
