Full Description
Remains of a recumbent stone circle. The recumbent stone faces southwest and has six cupmarks on its outer face, four of which are very shallow and lichen grown. Two other standing stones remain, but the flanking pillars have gone. There is cairn material scattered within the copse but insufficient remains to define perimeter.
