Full Description
Remains of a probable stone circle consisting of 2 stones 8.53m apart. A 3rd stone was recorded by Coles in 1907 at the back of the road dyke, but there is now no trace of this stone. Alignment suggests the 2 stones formed part of the S and W arcs of the original circle. May have originally surrounded a Clava-type cairn.
