The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in rough, boggy terrain. Not marked on the 1837 or the 1913 OS 6-inch maps. An intermittent row of low stones extends, on a NE–SW axis, between the SE side of an enclosure (SL018-058002-) and the SW side of a possible stone circle (SL018-059001-), a distance of c. 35m. The line of stones appears to continue for c. 5m to NE of the stone circle. The stones appear to be set on edge but are very low, and are concealed by, or barely protruding above, the bog vegetation. At the SW end of their extent, close to the enclosure (SL018-058002-), the stones are 1-2m apart but the spacing increases to c. 10m as they approach the stone circle (SL018-059001-). To the NE of the stone circle the stones are again more closely spaced.
