Details Remains of a recumbent stone circle of which only the recumbent and two flankers remain. Five stones were recorded by Coles at the beginning of the 20th century, these set upon a mound which made their outer and inner heights markedly different. The recumbent is 3.9m standing 2m in height. The east flanker stands 2.5m high, the west flanker 2.8m. Other stones in Coles' plan, although earthfast, are probably not part of the original setting.
