These nine stones lie (rather than stand) between two ridges near the summit of the Hill of Drimmie on the very edge of a forestry plantation -- many of the stones are within the trees. Six of the stones are considered to be definitely part of the circle, the other three being questionable.

Burl described this as a four-poster, several of the stones having been found after turf removal some time after Burl made his description.
