Aerial photos taken in 1987 revealed a penannular ring ditch around 8m in diameter surrounded by a ditch approximately 2m wide. The ditch has what may be an entrance at the NNW, suggesting this to be another "mini-henge" like the one nearby, also at Belhie, but without excavation it's not possible to say if this "entrance" is contemporary with the ditch.


The site was scheduled in 2000 by Historic Scotland as Haugh of Aberuthven, standing stone, enclosure and ring-ditch.
