They stand on the flood plain of the River Spey and are visible from the A95.
Update August 2019: This row is featured on the Stone Rows of Great Britain website - see their entry for Tom nan Carragh, which includes a description, photographs, a plan of the row from a recent survey in July 2018, plus access information. The SRoGB tells us this is a possible single stone row made up of three large upright stones and three recumbent slabs, 286m long; they raise the question of counting these stones as a group of paired stones. They also note that the westernmost stone has 2 or 3 cup marks on its upper surface.
The row is also recorded as:
Canmore ID 15720 (Standing Stone);
Canmore ID 15721 (Standing Stone); and
Canmore ID 15722 (Two standing stones, only one of which is erect).
