The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, in a level field on the S side of a road. According to local information, an arrangement of three megaliths, described as having 'fallen over' were recently removed from their position during drainage works and a cist (KE066-112002-) was found in the ground underneath them. Two of the stones (dims. L 1.2m x 0.6m; H 2.05m and 0.7m x 0.5m; H 2.05m) were moved to the SSW of a nearby farmhouse and the third (dims. 1.45m x 0.4m and H 1.25m) is erected in the garden of the Jehovah's Witness Hall on the opposite side of the road.
