This site sits in a field 0.4km NE of the A6 Buxton-Bakewell road on the west side of the B6049. Superficially it looks like a chambered tomb, similar to that at Five Wells 0.9km to its south but in a robbed out and dilapidated condition.
The easternmost stone is set at right angles to the line of the others.
This site is not shown on the White Peak Area 1:25000 O.S. map (O.S. Outdoor Leisure 24)
