Canmore's preferred name for this is Burreldales. On the 1:50,000 it is marked as a standing stone but is actually considered to be the remains of a stone circle.

Certainly the single stone remaining would not be the obvious choice for a single standing stone.

Canmore site no. 19223.

Burl has the location of this circle down as NJ 739 396 in the his Stone Circles book, which is wrong. This is the correct location.
