Details	Site of stone circle which was destroyed during land improvement in 1829. The OS Name Book notes that the exact location could not be established. Stones were 'inserted in centre of a mound or dyke of some elevation'. The interior of the circle had been scooped out. Around the circle to about an acre, the ground was covered with a close pavement of large flagstones. A road of similar stones lead to the southeast, circa 3.65m wide. Two stone cups were found near circle under the pavement.
