A fairly dilapidated stone circle with four or five stones remaining, of a reported ten. There are also the remains of a possible cist near the centre of the circle. The circle is about 80 metres southwest of the Clach Biorach (Edderton 1) Pictish stone and easily accessible from the road, although it is a little overgrown. The site was originally scheduled in 1970 and re-scheduled by Historic Environment Scotland in 2016.
