Ancient mesolithic settlement dating between 7544 and 6380 BC. The people were hunter/gatherers who also fished. The fidning of flint tools indicates that they fashioned wood and bone. It is thought they lived in pit dwellings and circular huts made of branches with pole supported roofs of wattle and turf.

It is thought that nearby Dunino Law is an artificial mound or an enlarged hill. The name Dunino is thought to be a deviation of the word Dunnigheanach which means "hill or fort of the daughters or young women".
There is a ley line that runs from Kellie Law past the edge of a crossroads, the edge of where the stone circle stood, across Bel-Craig through an ancient farm, ending at Dunino Law.

The stone circle used to exist across the burn from the Bel-Craig. Portions of it are thought to have been incorporated into nearby farm walls. Additionally, investigations in the Den have found ten large boulders, some of which bear plough marks, possibly being discarded from the adjacent field.
