Help with some stones I saw today

We had a nice walk up Mortlich Hill today (fort on summit, I don't know if it's prehistory). This hill is just north of Aboyne Loch, Aberdeenshire. On the way back we came across some stones (NJ 53569 00199) which to my untrained eyes looked a bit like a long cairn (not uncommon round this part of Aberdeenshire). The stones where on the top of a rise looking down onto the Loch. Maybe 25 feet long and 8 feet wide. Nothing is marked on OS maps, Canmore or Aberdeenshire council websites. Probably just field clearance. It's quite near a path so I guess if it was a cairn it would have been spotted a long time back. Anyway here's a link to some photos I've put on 500px. Any thoughts would be welcome, thanks.
