Known locally as the 'Griddle Stones'. Circular site (int. diam. 13.5m) at present defined by eleven evenly spaced upright stones (1.3-1.8m apart). The entrance (Wth 1.3m) is at the SSW. The stones appear to rise in height from the entrance (H 1.3m) to the tallest stones (H 1.4-1.88m) at the NNE. The circle is on the inner edge of an earthen bank (Wth 1.75m (at the SE) to 2m (at the SW); H 0.4m).
