loose stones
Unanchored rocky debris
Loose stones are rocks or pebbles not fixed in place—scattered on a path, dislodged from a wall, or lying unset before being mounted in jewelry.
Road signs warn of loose stones where gravel may spray from tires or slide underfoot.
Watch your step—there are loose stones on the trail.
