This stone circle, which stands at the SE end of a terrace overlooking the W end of Loch Langass from the NE, is generally as described by RCAHMS in 1928. Oval on plan, its interior is levelled into the gently sloping surface of the terrace, and the excavated material seems to have been used to build the bank in which the upright stones of the circle are set. On the SSE, the taller ringstones stand along the inner edge of the bank, which also has an external kerb. Without excavation it is impossible to determine the relationship between the stones of the circle and the bank of the enclosure. Two fallen stones lie outside the circle on the SW.
