Full Description
Stone circle, made up of six upright stones set on a clearly defined mound circa 1m above the surrounding ground level. The stones were graded in height from the south-west, where the tallest (2.4m) still stands. There once was an outlier to the north-east, but this has now gone. The interior of the circle is obscured by stone clearance. Restored in 1994 by Tarves Heritage Project.
