The larger ENE ring is about 50 metres away. The stones of both circles are small although those of the WSW ring are larger. A mound near the center of the ESE ring may cover a burial.
This stone circle is also recorded as Coflein NPRN 413022. It is also featured as part of the Stone Rows of Great Britain's entry for the Y Pigwn (Trecastle Mountain) stone row.
