On shoulder of SE-facing slope, site is very overgrown. Comprises subcircular area (diam. c. 12m), on perimeter of which are two opposing stones and two smaller stones. North stone is 0.8m L, 0.6m T and 1.1m H. South stone is 0.7m L, 0.5m T and 1m H. Third stone, almost prostrate, is 1.3m to E of S upright; it is 1.25m L, 0.4m T and, if erect, 1.4m H. Fourth stone, very small, is 0.35m to E of N stone; it is 0.45m L, 0.3m T and 0.4m H. Various other perimeter orthostats and prostrate slabs visible on site in early 1970s now piled into interior.
