I'd been trying to get to see this circle for quite some time and when I got here I was a little disappointed. The Laios Inventory describes it as a low circular mound with some stones protruding through the soil.

Well, the low mound is 10cm tall and 60cm wide. It's diameter is around 8m. Some stones do show but to a maximum height of 5cm! It looked as if they have all been broken off.

There is a large erratic boulder in the corner of the field that is more interesting.
