Details Recumbent stone circle. The recumbent, its flankers and nine stones, of which six are fallen, remain. Within it are the remains of a ring cairn, several stones in situ set in a slight bank. This setting is connected to the recumbent stone on its south side by a stone slab. To the north of it was a layer of water-worn pebbles set like a floor, not now visible. In the centre of the circle 3 narrow slabs in situ and a broad slab 1 m to south suggest there had been a cavity, now impossible to define. The cairn is 14.9 m in diameter, with the central space 3.7 m wide.
