Full Description
NB 3803 5433 There is evidence for the former existence of a stone circle about 42m diameter, probably consisting of nine standing stones and possibly with an internal setting. This evidence is in the form of stone slabs, broken stones (some of which are lying over voids), and groups of possible packing stones. There are at least five positions spread around the perimeter where megaliths may have stood. Gaps suggest a least three more positions….
