(NX 5097 5821) Stone Circle (NR)
OS 6" map (1957)
This stone circle consists of 28 close-set low boulders placed with their broad faces on the line of the circumference. It measures 50' in diameter and the centre is occupied by a granite boulder nearly 6' high. A gap of 8'7" between two boulders on the W side suggests one stone has been removed, otherwise the circle is complete. A number of stones, probably field clearance, lie in a heap at the base of the central stone.

Field Visit (10 March 1994)
This stone circle lies on the S of a field of improved pasture about 50m from the Englishman's Burn. It measures 15.5m in diameter within a ring of twenty-eight low boulders, which rise to their maximum height on the SE arc; a gap on the SW may mark the site of a missing stone. In the centre there is a standing stone, 1.6m high.
