Details A small stone circle lies on the lower south-east facing slope of Knock Hill, on the edge of an area of Scots Pine. There are seven stones with one missing. Four of the stones have fallen over slightly but still close to original position. The tallest, which has tipped over, is circa 1 m in height. It stands on a slightly raised area. The area is used for outwintering of stock and the central area of the circle is trampled by cattle. To the south-east are two other raised areas which may represent hut platforms. They are roughly circular with a substantial stone content on the outer edge.
