Th is landscaped and slightly re-arranged recumbent stone circle, 17.3m in diameter, still impresses the traveller with two splendid flankers, each 2.5m tall, which have been matched and shaped into two enormous canine teeth. The great, beaked recumbent is 4.5m long and, weighs 20 tons. It is likely that at least one stone, on the north-north- west, has been re-erected and the ring cairn tidied away, probably when the graveyard was laid out around the circle in 1914.
