The National Monuments Service's description
Petrie (1837, 175) describes this under No. 6 as follows: 'Between the gravel pit mentioned under No. 6 [SL014-209106-] and No. 7 [SL014-209007-] are several very large stones of which there can be but little doubt belong to another circle.' There is no mention of this by Wood-Martin (1888). The location of this monument is plotted as being approximately midway between No. 6 [SL014-209106-] and No. 7 [SL014-209007-].
