At the head of Loch Striven, on the hill to the E there is a group of 23 recessed platforms and 1 stance. They range in diameter size from 5.5m to 9.1m (3 at 5.5m, 6 at 6.4m, 12 at 7.3m, 1 at 8.2m and 2 at 9.1m).

The two largest are at the extremities of the group. One of these is a 'stance', ie, it is not recessed as it is on a terrace. It is at the highest altitude of this group, viz, 130m. The lowest is at 30m. The platforms stretch across the hill for 750m and uphill for about 300m.
