On the broad, flat break of a NW-facing, gently undulating, slope in upland terrain, under pasture. Four small cairns, possibly field clearance cairns, are located in the immediate vicinity of a standing stone pair (TS091-004----). The closest is 14m to the NW, the others are 33m, 49m and 41m to the NW, NNW and NNE respectively. The cairns range in size from the smallest (dims. 2.6m x 4.8m; H 0.26m) to the largest (dims. 4.3m x 5.8m; H 0.43m).
