Occupying a prominent position of the hillside above the churches, this 'four-poster' stone circle seems to have all the right credentials (e.g. the NE stone is shorter than the rest), but early reports detail upto eight stones - unfortunately they don't indicate the layout.

The stones form a rectangle of 5m east-west and just 2m north-south. This, added to the possible extra stones, makes me think that it could have been an avenue.

The three tallest of the remaining stones are 1.5m tall (one is broken off and the fragment is at its base) and the fourth stone is 1.2m tall.
