NO15NW 16 1021 5698.

(NO 102 570) To the NE of Grey Cairn (NO15NW 1) is a stone circle formed by nine boulders giving a diameter of 8 yds. Fragments of charred wood were found near the centre, together with burned bones near the S margin.

J Stuart 1868

At NO 1021 5698, in a low, inconspicuous position is the circle of nine stones described by Stuart, most of them now prostrate. It appears to have measured c. 8.0m in diameter. The stones vary in size from 1.3m long x 0.9m wide and 0.5m long x 0.4m wide, and when standing, the tallest cannot have been much more than 0.9m high - this is in the SW arc.

Surveyed at 1:2500.

Visited by OS (AA) 15 November 1973
