This pair of stones stand a mile or so to the north of Kilmartin and about 150 yards to the north of Carnassarie cairn. The stones stand about eight feet apart and are aligned almost exactly north-south on a high shoulder of land. The northerly stone is about seven and a half feet tall and five feet wide. The southerly stone is about eight and a half feet tall and four feet wide. They are both about a foot and a half deep.
