Full Description
Site of a possible stone circle. Seven stones formed the circle which existed here in 1871, and which measured circa 23m in diameter. It was destroyed circa 1903 and there is now no visible trace. The tallest of the stones was only abou 0.6m high so rather than a stone circle it may have been some other stone setting.
