Details Remains of a stone circle, consisting of the recumbent, now broken, the east pillar and two other stones. It was originally circa 18m in diameter. The recumbent lies on a definite mound and at one time the circle was 'rudely paved'. The area has been used as a dump for field clearance and has been ploughed. Now there is no trace of paving or any internal features. A possible cup mark was recorded in the centre of the upper surface of the recumbent by George Currie.
