Remains of a stone circle, consisting of a low central mound, a vaguely defined ditch and an equally vague enclosing ridge upon which stands a single stone to the southwest. Originally there were around seven stones. An 'oriented grave', containing an unburnt skeleton and a cremated burial with urn fragments, was found at the centre of a fire-marked area just below the surface at the centre of the stone circle. Seven deposits of burnt bones, some in small circular cists were found around the central burial. Fragments of Bronze Age urns were found with some of the burials. The 13 fragments in the NMAS are from 13 vessels (possibly flat rimware). The circle is now tree planted and resembles a saucer-barrow in appearance. A low stone wall revetment on the outer edge of the circle is probably comparatively modern.
