- Streetmap: NR90063265
The cairn and stone circle is situated three miles north of Blackwaterfoot on the west side of the Arran.[1] Around half a mile to the east are the Machrie Moor Stone Circles, and this circle is sometimes known as Machrie Moor Circle 10.[2]
The cairn has been robbed for stone, and a modern fence and a farm track have cut through the north side of the site.[3] It was once surrounded by a complete circle of stones with a diameter of 75 feet, but many have been removed. The kerb now consists of seven upright stones, around 1 metre high with at least five more large stones now on edge.[3]
