I am not sure what to make of this, a couple of large side set slabs about 1.5 metres tall, with perhaps many other smaller ones around them. It is possible that it all makes a rectangle around a boulder as I have seen in the Bodmin Moor survey book, but most of the stones are small and under the turf. Whatever, it is hard to make out the shape of the diagram in the book.
