This setting of six stones lies in an improved pasture field and has been enclosed recently with a post and wire fence. The stones are arranged in two opposed arcs, both of three stones, on the circumference of a circle measuring 7.5m in diameter. The stones are all large blocks containing white quartz pebbles, with the exception of that on the SE, which incorporates a thin band of quartz. This stone, 0.86m high, would have been the tallest of the setting, but it is now broken and the detached fragment lies immediately adjacent. There is some indication for the grading in height of the stones, the three forming the S arc being taller than those on the N, and in both arcs the central stone is the smallest of the three. The irregular spacing of the stones is also repeated in both arcs, the gaps to the E of the central stones being wider than the equivalent gaps on the W. Cattle have rubbed against the stones on the S arc, wearing hollows around their bases.
