Full Description
Recumbent stone circle, surrounded by a modern wall, measuring 17.37 m in diameter. The only stones remaining in situ are the recumbent, flankers and four other uprights. Six stones to the northeast of the east flanker, some of them upright, have apparently been erected recently although two of them may be part of an original kerb. The same applies to the four stones at the base of the west flanker. One other stone, to the north of the circle, though fallen, may be in situ.
