A Pair of Standing Stones in Argyll. They are lozenge-shaped and taper to heights of 8'7" and 8'10". Aligned NNW-SSE they stand 7'9" apart with the taller stone at the SSE end.

They have been described as facing "the Ford gap, which shows between them like a foresight of a rifle from higher up the hill".

These stones are recorded as Canmore ID 22838, which adds that Stone A at NM 8345 0080 has a cup mark at its base, approximately 0.5 metres from its southern edge. Stone B, at NM 8344 0079, is unmarked.
