The E half (roughly) of the circle.
The outer stones are the circle stones; the inner stones belong to the ring cairn.
The recumbent and flankers from inside the circle. The ranging pole is 1m high.
Looking SW showing the recumbent and flankers and three of the four other upright stones (the fourth is quite small).

Location view.
You approach the site from the trees at the top left.
It’s difficult to get a good view of this from the ground.
These two views cover most of the cairn.
Looking S on the left. The cairn continues beyond the tree and ends at the mound which is just visible.
Looking N on the right. The cairn ends at the distant tree.
The S end.
Some stones of a possible chamber can be seen to the right.
From The Prehistoric Rock Art of Southern Scotland by Ronald W B Morris (1981).
Morris has based this drawing on a late 19th C sketch by Donnelly contained in the Bruce paper referenced in the PSAS link but has added, at the lettered areas, details from other plans.
