Superbly sited on a hill shoulder at c 158m OD, this recumbent stone circle is 18.3m in diameter. The circle stones, from 1m to 2.9m tall, stand in a low stony bank surrounding a fragmentary ring cairn 11.6m across. The characteristic differentiation between the recumbent and the circle stones can be seen here, the fmmer being of dark grey granite (weighing 24 tons) and the latter a red, gritty granite from near at hand.
