Full Description
Surrounding the stone circle (NJ51SE0002) are several small cairns and areas of rig running down the slope. The rigs run north-south, each about 4.5m wide. Walkover survey in 2012 in advance of proposed planting of the northwest part of the site recorded the remains of 20th century clearance, but no evidence of earlier activity in this area.
