Full Description
Site of stone circle, the then six or seven remaining standing stones removed for building purposes before 1870. 'One, the altar stone, was a very large one and was lying flat on the ground at the east end'. This may represent a recumbent stone circle, though the situation is unusual it is not unique (see OS NJ44SE009 and OS NO99NW002). No trace.
