Full Description
Site of a stone circle. In 1903 it was badly ruined with only two stones standing out of a total of seven stones remaining. The stones when erect would have been quite tall, with the highest circa 1.9 m, towards the south, suggesting that the ring was once graded in size. The OS when surveying the area in 1964 found no trace of the circle.
