Full Description
Remains of a stone circle. In 1838 it was said to have been composed of 19 standing stones but by 1868 only one stone remained. Five or six stones, not in a circle but in a straight line, were remembered in 1895 and as having existed at beginning of the 19th century. The remaining stone faces east-west and the orientation suggests that it is not in its original position.
