Circle diameter: 54 by 53 feet, Number of stones: 13 of 21
Located some 400 feet NE of the South circle, the long axis of this elliptical circle runs N-S. The stones are probably graded to the SW. Those at the N are a little over 2 feet in height, whereas those in the S are up to 4 feet. There is a gap at the W.
