Full Description
Remains of a recumbent stone circle which is now incorporated into the dyke enclosing a wood. The recumbent and two flankers are all of unusually large proportions, but the alleged cup-marks seen on recumbent can be ascribed to natural weathering. Projecting inwards from the face of the recumbent is an earth-fast block. Almost touching the outer edge of this is another stone, apparently in-situ. Three other stones are prostrate.
