Full Description
Remains of a stone circle, now consisting of two large stones, the east and west pillar, both prostrate. Many smaller stones lie around but are almost certainly field stones. Another smaller earthfast stone, 4m northwest of the west stone may not be in situ. The west stone has certainly been displaced and now no evidence that it and the east stone have been flankers to a recumbent. No likely stones were seen in nearby stone dyke to south of the circle, most of it being hidden by an earthen bank.
