The stone settings are between 0.3 metres (1 ft 0 in) and 0.65 metres (2 ft 2 in) high.[6] A series of Bronze Age stone cairns are closely associated with the standing stones.[7][8][9]

Geophysical surveys undertaken since 2005 have shown that the stones were surrounded by wooden posts,[10] and platforms and a circular high-resistance anomaly of uncertain date.[11]
