NN60SE 2 6534 0480.
(NN 6532 0485) A small stone circle in low ground 24 yds from the foot of the fort (NN60SE 1) and 75 yds from its top. It consists of five stones with space for a sixth. The boulders are bulky and shapeless, so that it is hard to tell whether they are standing or overthrown. No.1 is certainly in situ as it stands on a foundation of small stones. In their present positions the highest stands only 3ft 8ins and the lowest 18ins above the ground. No.3 has been split in two (3A and 3B).
