This stone circle, (first noted by Beveridge 1903) is oval on plan, measuring 33m from NE to SW by at least 40m transversely. It consists of ten stones, only one of which is intact and upright; five others have been reduced to stumps, while the rest have fallen. The spacing of the stones suggests that at least two have been removed. The upright stone is 1.8m high and tapers to a pointed top. In the centre of the circle there is a low, roughly circular, mound measuring about 14m in diameter.
RCAHMS 1980, visited 1975; E Beveridge 1903.
