It is such a shame that this circle has not had the same attention that nearby Drumskinny has. It is actually of the same design as Drumskinny, with a small cairn to one side and at least one tangential stone row.

Now it just stands half buried in a bog. The tallest visible stone is around 70cm, the smallest just 5cm. Although the photo graphs don't show it too well it is possible to make out the circle, cairn and one row when you are there.

Very much Drumskinny's much ignored little brother.
