NR 9370 8281. The greater part of a 93' diameter circle of low standing stones, of which ten remain, lies about 200' SW of the dun NR98SW 2. A slight turf bank traces the circumference further, but on the S about a third of the circle is absent or overgrown with rushes. Within the enclosed area are two large, up-pointed standing stones, one with a group of large stones at its base. Near the S limit is a table stone.
