In a open space in a wood there lies a obscure cairn and a standing stone. Surrounded by a dark wood, the stone seems like a spotlighted star on a dark stage. There may be a track to this site down from the rambling path towards Clauchland Hills. On the west side of this site, a pasture where North Blairmore standing stone stands far beyond can be seen.
