This pair of circles of standing stones, comparable with that at Scone Wood (NO12NW 28, q.v.) has been almost totally destroyed. Concrete pill boxes (NO12NE 66) were built in their immediate vicinity during the Second World War, and lately the whole site has been smothered by the dumping of tree stumps. It is now difficult to say how many stones there have been in each circle, whether the stones are graduated in size, and what was the original diameter.

M E C Stewart 1965.
