The road goes through a zig-zag then a bend, passing a caravan park on the right hand side at Twenty Shilling Wood. Just after the road turns a right hand bend there is a farm track to your right hand side, with room for a car to pull in before the gate (on opening the gate there is a small area of hard-standing for a couple of cars). We parked just in front of the gate and walked along the farm track to the stones, which were peeping out of knee high grass in the un cultivated part of the field to our left hand side.
We couldn’t spot any cup marks on the western stone, despite walking round the stones several times. Sited on flat pastureland with low hills rising around, and lying just north of the River Earn, this is a lovely spot, although a little spoiled by the heavy traffic on the A85 just to the south of the stones.

For more information see Canmore site no. 24858, which records an entry from 1911 which reads: "Only two stones remain of this stone circle although there were three up to c.1883 when one fell down and was removed. The stones are 22' apart and 5' and 4'8" high respectively."
They added a further note in 1966 saying: "the western stone has at least four cup-marks."
