The remains of this cairn sit on the aptly named Stoneyhill. There are many piles of field clearance which made me wonder if something else stood here. All that is left is a 6 meter wide cairn that stands at 0.4 meters high. One possible kerb remains earthfast on the western side. Bennachie dominates the skyline to the west.

Leave the A947 at Whiterashes and head towards Inverurie on the B993 stopping at Fawells farm. Stoneyhill is the small climb opposite.
