Full Description
Remains of a stone circle, possibly a recumbent stone circle, of which only two stones remain. A paved road with neatly fitted but irregular stones ran for at least 548m to the southeast, through a bog. At the far end it was circa 5.48m wide when it approached within 45m of circle and here the paving was covered with ash. On the northwest side of the circle there was another pavement over 94m long. There was no paving within the circle. The causeway is believed to have run towards another stone circle in the northeast. Two stone ladles were found, one with a broken handle.
