Smilemaker visited on 17th Aug 2023 - their rating: Cond: 3 Access: 3 Sited on a ridge with good visibility from the surrounding hinterland. Only a single stone upstanding, others are either earthbound or toppled. The circle incorporates a ruinous chambered cairn within its circumference with some of the cist stones prominently protruding from the ground
