Details Remains of a recumbent stone circle which stood on a small mound circa 0.45 m high. Only 3 stones now survive. The recumbent stone is 2.84 m long by 1.72 m high, and is thought to be in its original position. The two flankers had fallen in the past but were re-erected in the mid 20th Century, but incorrectly. The western flanker was damaged at some point prior to its re-erection, with the top part of the stone now missing and plough scratches visible on the it. The has since split in two. The remains now stand in a small plantation.
