The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight crest in a broad valley of gently undulating terrain. A circular area (diam. c. 10.4m) enclosed by eighteen stones with a large granite boulder at centre (H 0.8m; 1.1m x 0.8m). The mainly granite stones are quite evenly spaced (c. 50cm apart) and are of a broadly similar size (H c. 0.35m; 0.65m x 0.55m). The largest stone (H 0.4m; 0.95m x 0.8m) is at S. A bank has possibly been incorporated into the perimeter of the circle at SE.
