This recumbent stone circle has been reduced to the three stones of its setting, which stand on the leading edge of a low NE-facing scarp near the foot of the E flank of Knock Hill. The recumbent (2), which faces SSW, is a slab measuring 2.5m in length and has a relatively even summit 1.2m high. The flankers stand 1.65m and 1.85m high respectively and are aligned with the leading face of the recumbent. The western (1) is a relatively slender pillar, whereas its neighbour (3) rises from a broader base to a pointed top. The shape of the latter fits quite snugly with the E end of the recumbent, but the narrow gap in the façade at its foot and the rather larger gap between the recumbent and the W flanker are filled with small blocking stones.
