Description
The site consists of three groups of standing stones. The first group is of three stones, the tallest of which is 3.75m and has fallen down; the second is of two stones, the tallest being 4m high with a single cupmark; the third is also of two stones, both of which have fallen down.
These two stones like the others nearby flank the S bank of the River Add (tucked out of sight between the stones and the sheep in the background) as it meanders past the fort of Dunadd and onwards to the sea a couple of miles away. The cow is a rather apt model as for many years the main drovers' cattle market or Tryst was held around these stones.
