Situated at the W end of field system (WA006-055004-), at the crest of a S-facing slope overlooking the E-W Nier river which is c. 800m to the S. A miniature stone row (L 3.45m) is aligned N-S and composed of three stones. The S stone is rectangular (dims. 0.45m x 0.35m; H 0.6m), the central stone is subcircular (dims. 0.3m x 0.25m; H 0.53m), and the N stone is rectangular (dims. 0.5m x 0.2m; H 0.45m). The distances between the stones from the S are 1.45m and 0.7m.
