The site comprises a linear arrangement of standing stones positioned approximately 450 metres west-south-west of the southern end of the Loch of Camster. Dating to the Bronze Age, the monument represents one of Scotland's stone row traditions, which are thought to have served ritual or ceremonial purposes, though the precise function of such alignments remains a matter of scholarly interpretation.
