Apart from a fallen portal stone this circle shows all the key elements that define SW multiple stone monuments. The portals are tallest to the NE and the other stones get gradually lower until the axial at the SW which is characteristically broad and lowest. It has a central boulder burial and an unusual standing stone within the circle to the SE.
No longer accessible from the Bear Way national path it is possible to cross from the current route of the path over the bog to view, there are no fences in the way but the farmer has refused permission!
