037 | A short distance to the east [of the Cairn] are two large unshapely granite stones standing upright which the Rev. [Reverend] Mr. Bartney also attributes them to the more ancient inhabitants, but not Druidical circles. "In the E. [East] moor of Ruthven Parish are 2 large granite stones, a species of stone rather uncommon in this neighbourhood standing erect, between 5 or 6 feet above ground, at the distance of 12 feet from each other. The [largest] granite is on the west side, and 20 feet in circumference. These stones might be considered as some Druidical monument, the more so as the farm adjoining is called Draffan, which according to some is a corruption of Druidum Fanum, that is a temple or place of worship of the Druids" Old Stat.
