NM 906 291. The only known stone circle in Lorn is situated on the flood plain at the N end of Loch Nell, 280m SSW of the farm of Strontoiller and 185m NNW of the cairn and standing stone. The NE half is now in an area of marshy ground, but the SW half lies at the edge of an arable field. The circle measures about 20m in diameter and is composed of 31 rounded boulders of varying sizes, the largest measuring not more than 1m in height. Four other stones, which have probably been displaced, are situated a short distance outside the circle, on the NNE. Many of the boulders forming the circle are now partly grass-covered, and without excavation, it is impossible to tell whether or not they are precisely in their original positions. The interior of the circle is featureless.
