The site of this recumbent stone circle falls on a slight terrace on a SE-facing slope, but only the recumbent and its W flanker remain in place, and these are subsumed into a large pile of field-gathered stones. The recumbent (2), which is a metamorphosed block of quartzite, faces S and measures 2.85m in length by 1.55m in height. The W flanker, a pillar some 2.25m high, stands slightly forward of the recumbent’s leading face and the overall outlook of the setting may have been closer to SSE than S. Whether the recumbent is in its original position, however, is difficult to judge, for the rear of the stone has evidently been blasted, also destroying the W end of its relatively level summit. A possible cupmark can be seen close to the upper eastern corner of its leading face.
