Details Remains of a recumbent stone circle, comprising at least 19 stones set on the inner edge of a stony bank measuring 1.25m across, 0.25m high, and 22m across. The stones are unusually small. Only four stones including the east flanker appear to be in situ, the remainder have tumbled. The space enclosed by stones was originally paved. Seven graves were found within circle the but all had been previously opened. Bones, sherds of a decorated urn and two pieces of flint were found. The five stones on the northwest were re-erected at intervals believed to be in keeping with spaces between undisturbed stones.
