Discoverd by Margaret in 1991, is situated near the Leurbost
cross roads, about two-and-a-half miles to the south-east of the Achmore
site. National Grid Reference NB 382 305. It is an ellipse of 16 stones,
described in Current Archaeology 147, pages 98-99.

I don't know if anything
else has been published, but if anyone is especially interested, try
contacting Margaret direct. She is not on the web, but Sheri has given her a
contacts page at http://www.nccn.net/~wwithin/curtis.htm
