The circle consists of ten stones in a ring, approximately 12.5m by 12m in diameter with a further stone, completely buried, to the north-west. If the stones were evenly spaced, there may originally have been as many as twenty in the circle.
The larger stones range between about 0.5m and 0.9m in height, except for one lying to the south which leans badly and has all but collapsed. This stone would probably have been well over a metre in height originally. It has what looks like a possible cupmark on one of its edges but this is thought to be a bullet mark from the moor's army training days. The bank, difficult to see in parts, is between 1.5m and 2.5m wide and 15m in diameter. It is clearest to the west and south-west. .
