NB23SW 4 2297 3042.
(NB 2297 3042) Stone Circle (NR) (remains of)
OS 6" map, (1965)
A stone circle 33' in diameter, consisting of five tall thin pillar stones, each facing the interior, with a circular ring of small boulders about 12' in diameter within the circle, and a small slab, 2' high 2'8" wide and 10" thick, set on edge in the centre of the ring. The stones are spaced at irregular distances varying from 7'11" to 32', the last space to the NW suggesting that a stone has been removed. The Pillars vary from 6'9" to 9' in height and from 2'7" to 4'10" in width, the two adjoining stones on the eastern arc being flat on top and the others pointed. The area enclosed by the circle has been depleted of a 2' covering of peat, and apparently some further excavation has been made.
