Details A recumbent stone circle of large whinstone boulders. In front of recumbent are some earthfast stones which appear to be integral parts of the circle. There is no obvious ring-cairn in the interior but Coles remarked that some earthfast stones in side the circle were 'suggestive of cists'. The circle was excavated in 1856 when an urn, with charcoal and cremated bones in it, was found. the ring is 19.8m in diameter. Today only six still stand and two others have been displaced in the northeast quadrant, the east flanker has fallen and is partly grass-covered. One stone was destroyed by accident in 1912 whilst a natural outcrop in the same field was being blasted away. The interior probably once contained a cairn (see below), but RCAHMS site visit 2003 noted that it was now featureless, disfigured with old plough scars and heaps of field-cleared stones.
