Sections of shap granite kerbstones can be seen on top of a mound/knoll, roughly describing a circle. Small quarries(?) into the mound have disturbed some of the stones. Disturbed in the 19th Century. and overall a confusing site. An uncertain site according to Burl.
This site is recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 13442, which reads: "This cairn has been mostly removed and now consists only of scattered stones and a few large boulders. Judging by the remains of the peristalith, it was probably about 55' in diameter. (2) It is said that when the cairn was removed burnt bones were found in a small cist-like hole cut into the rock ... The 'few large boulders' comprise the SW and SE arcs of the peristalith."
