This multiple stone circle is fairly ruined, but it is still worth a visit. One of its attractions is its ease of access, which is through a farm yard and 30m across a field.
You approach from the southwest and so come to the long, low axial stone first. Just beyond that, in the centre of the circle, are two boulder burials - but these are not all that spectacular.
Just six of the stones remain upright, but most of the others are in position. It would appear that all the stones were the same height except for the entrance stones (one of which still stands) which were slightly taller than the rest at around 1m tall.
The views to the north are fairly broad and very good. The road, just 150m away, is well hidden by the slope of the hill. Trees block the east and west views and the hill rises up to the south providing a pleasant backdrop to the site.
