This is one of the stones that made up the stone circle beside the Brandsbutt Stone. It and its fellow had been built into a field wall, but when the area was redeveloped as housing they were re-erected beide the Brandsbutt Stone. It is named on the 1:25,000 map as 'Douping Stone' but I have not found any explanation for this. https://canmore.org.uk/site/18882/brandsbutt for more information.
