The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture 130m W of a stream. Standing stone (LI048-041---) lies 180m to E. Not depicted on OSi historic 6-inch maps. Identified as a possible circular-shaped enclosure on oblique aerial photograph (ASIAP) taken 04/03/2006. Monument is visible as a roughly circular-shaped hollow on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13. Scrub-covered earthwork visible on Google Earth orthoimages. Uncertain about antiquity of feature may be the remains of a small quarry hole rather than an archaeological enclosure.
See attached Google Earth orthoimages.
