This is the better of the stone circles at this complex, but it's still not easy to appreciate due to the fact that the stones are very low and embedded in heather-covered peat.

The part of the circle that is most visible is a 4m diameter ring of stones that stand just 30cm proud of the peat. At a few points around the edge there are some stones set raidially. The alignments marked on the plan are almost impossible to spot. There are a few stones sticking out of the peat to the south.
