A double line of stones was observed on the E bank of one of the tributaries of the Eyre Burn, and overlooks a possible later prehistoric hut circle, further down the valley. It consists of a double row of stones, c 20m in length, lying E-W. The higher end lies to the E, and is marked by an upright stone roughly triangular in shape, and some 0.9m high. A vegetation-covered mound lies about one-third of the way down from the eastern end. A few stones protrude through the mound, which at its widest point is c 3m across.
Two upright stones, 0.5m and 0.6m high, mark the western, lower, end. There are other uprights along its length, mostly 0.4-0.5m high, which seem to occur in pairs, there being five or possibly six such pairs. The two uprights at the western end appear to have slipped and are presently at an angle of 45 degrees.
