josvg visited on 23rd Jun 2014 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 5 The central feature is thought to be an elliptic stone circle of 5m by 4.1m by A. Thom and R.L. Merritt (JHA vol. 9, 1978, p. 60); see the site map. There 8 stones still standing, one of which is 1.2m tall, the rest less than 0.6m; 4 stones are marked as fallen. Given that there are more stones close to this central feature, it seems more likely to be a field system of some sort.
