I saw three out of the four circles here and this is the poorest out of those three. It is quite small (when compared to the others) each stone being just 1m or tall. There is not enough remaining to say if there were any special features.

I would guess that its diameter would have been around 10m. This can only be concluded from the area covered by the tress inside it.

Again looking at the circle over the wall to the south was as close as I got to the circle. The farmer was working away in the field below and I couldn't get his attention. It is definitely easier to see the remains of this circle in the winter, as the grass in the centre gets quite high during the summer, hiding some of the stones.
