This stone circle is situated in waste ground about 15m WNW of the junction of the minor public road with another leading E to Wellheads. Only three grey granite orthostats survive and (pace Ian S Sainsbury of the OS) these describe the W arc of a ring measuring about 19m in diameter. The most northerly stands upright and measures 0.87m high, while its two companions to the S lean steeply SE and N respectively. Much of the interior has been eroded and is occupied by thorn scrub, while there are scrappy SE-facing lynchets resulting from ploughing to the ring’s south. The boulders to the W are either field clearance or have been exhumed from the neighbouring ditch.
