There are at least ten stones standing or overturned and an outlier which has been toppled over and broken in two parts, standing would have been around eight feet high. The nearest recorded site is the Kitchen Hill megalith which stands alongside the West Coast main line some five miles to the south. The whole site is dominated by a gnarled oak tree and appears to be standing on a low mound and the atmosphere of the place can best be described as "unwelcoming" even in the best of weather.
