Full Description
Remains of a stone circle. Only two stones remain. One standing stone of porphyritic granite with an oblong cavity near the top (made in 1835). It is a truly massive block, almost square in plan and rectangular in section, with a circumference of 0.91 m. Nearby is a smaller block of diorite. The stone circle was said to be almost entire 50 years ago. It is a plausible location for a stone circle.
