The Carn Wen adjoins 'the Druid's Circle' on the N.
The Druid's Circle is an incomplete banked enclosure (a possible ringcairn]), c.15m in diameter, having a smaller circle (A possible little hut, but like Coflein says - The presence of ritual and possibly settlement features on the same site is unusual.). It's 3.5m in diameter, and is within and adjoining the S side.
The site adjoins Carn Wen to the S, whilst three cairns have been recorded from 20 to 110m to the NE (I could only see one]).
