This is a lovely little compact seven stone circle. Well, it could be a nine stone circle, but I think two of the stones are broken into two pieces. It is situated on a little shelf on the side of a hill, just 30m above the road, in a lush field. The axial stone is extremely low, just 25cm or so. The stones form a full ring, so there is no entrance opposite the axial stone.
On the top of the stones that are still standing (one, maybe two have fallen inwards) there is a small quartz pebble. The inside of the 2m diameter central area contains a small smattering of field clearance, but not an excessive amount.
To the south west, parallel to the axis of the stone circle, are a pair of outlying stones that are of similar height to those of the circle - no taller than 1m.
