This appears on the 1:25,000 as a ruined Stone Circle but that is almost an understatement. Certainly you have to know what you are looking for before you go.
Lying prostrate and incorporated into the outside of the south wall of the churchyard are two long thin stone - about nine feet long by two feet thick. presumably the flankers. Even worst the wall has been partly re-aligned so only one of the stones is now clearly visible - a corner of the other can be seen in the bend of the wall.
