Details Remains of a recumbent stone circle. A large recumbent granite boulder set between two flanking monoliths are the upstanding and visible remains of the southwest arc of a stone circle, the rest of which is likely to survive beneath the present ground surface. The stone circle is estimated to have measured circa 18 m in diameter. The recumbent is circa 1.4 m long and this, as would be expected, is shorter than the heights of the two flanking granite monoliths (East flanker: 1.7 m, West flanker: 1.57 m). The recumbent has fallen inwards and split in to two pieces on its long axis.
