Full Description
NB43NW 4 4132 3565.
NB 4132 3565. Four standing stones, each about 1.0m high, at this spot, represent the remains of a stone circle approximately 50 yards in diameter.
Information cotained in letter from M and G Ponting to Dr J Close-Brooks (NMAS) 20 February 1979.
This is a stone alignment. There seems to be some historical confusion with this site and the feature at Priests Glen (SMR341). At this location there are at least 10 stones aligned east / west, 4 of which are above the grass and are clearly visible.
