A small stone circle lies on the lower SE-facing slope of Knock Hill, on the edge of an area of Scots Pine and at an altitude of 230m OD. There are seven stones, with one missing. Four of the stones have fallen over slightly but are still close to their original positions. The tallest, which has tipped over, is about 1m high and stands on a slightly raised area.
To the SE are two other raised areas which may represent hut platforms; these are roughly circular with a substantial stone content on the outer edge.
The area is to be fenced.
