“Two standing stones, situated about 30m apart, and a spread of small cairns are situated on a heather-covered rise to the N of Achngarron. The ENE stone (NC 7329 0498, ROG95 921) stands 1.6m high, is 0.8m square at the base, with its faces presented to the cardinal points of the compass. It leans to the S and there are packing stones visible at the base of the stone. The WSW stone (NC 7327 0497, ROG95 922) is 1.3m in height, subrectangular in section, and measures 0.9m from N to S by 0.6m transversely. The small cairns extend for a distance of up to 140m from E to W by 60m transversely along the spine of the hill on which the standing stones are set.”
