What may be the remains of a stone circle measuring about 24m in diameter stand on a low knoll in an area of pasture; there are faint traces of the furrows of cultivation rigs extending from N to S through the interior. The only stone remaining upright is on the E, standing in a slight hollow with several loose stones gathered around its foot. It is a cleaved slab with its flatter WNW side facing into the interior and measures 0.8m in breadth by 0.18m in thickness at the base, but expands to 1.15m in breadth at a point about 1m above the ground, before narrowing to a rounded top at a height of 1.4m. Clockwise from this position, several stones lie prostrate and displaced: one small slab 1.4m long lies 7m to the SSW; two stones lie 14m to the WSW, both 1.7m long; another lies 12m to the NW and is 2.1m long and 1.4m broad; a lump of outcrop is visible 16m to NNW; and 13.5m to the N, there is a slab 1.2m square and 0.4m thick. Further outcrops and smaller stones can be seen around the knoll to the W.
