You'll have to believe me when I say that this is a perfect five stone circle. The rason for this is that it is consumed within a ball of brambles. When you are actually there you can see the stones through the plants quite clearly, but on the photos it is not too clear.

It is a tiny circle, just 1.8m in diameter. The axial stone, situated at the south west, is long and low. The stones rise in height to around 1m tall, maybe a little more.

I am not sure if it's through neglect or for protection from the cattle in some way that the circle has been allowed to become overgrown, but I think I may well go back with a pair of garden shears to this one!
