The Maiden Stone (aka "Drumdurno Stone") is a Pictish standing stone. It is about 3.2 metre high stone slab with carved Pictish and Christian symbols, which is dated to the 8th or 9th century. The stone shows considerable damage. One side shows several depictions that are also common on other Pictish symbol stones: a comb, a mirror, a so-called Pictish beast as well as a stylised centaur and other mythological creatures. The other side has early Christian motifs, including a cross, as well as the image of a man between two sea creatures (Jonah and two whales?).

Balquhain Stone Circle, is a recumbent stone circle (RSC). The circle originally consisted of 12 stones. Four remain standing, with another four fallen, the final four presumed to have been moved. The recumbent altar stone is 3.8 metres wide, 1.7 metres high and 1.05 metres deep, it has been estimated to weigh over ten tonnes. It is made of a type of white grained granite that has been suggested to have been brought some distance to the location.The eastern flanker stone is 2 metres, the western flanker stone is 2.25 metres high. The circle has been estimated to have been between 18 metres to 21 metres in diameter. The most spectacular stone here is not part of the circle. It is the massive 3.2 m high, triangular, tapered outlier made of white quartz, which stands about 3.5 m outside the circle.
