Closer inspection finds more stones under the grass making the circle, which is about 6 metres diameter. About 10 metres to the north is a nicely shaped triangular stone, standing almost a metre tall, with its thin sides lined up to the setting.
It looks to me like it is perhaps a little cairn circle, with perhaps remains of a chamber within it.
Looking on the Defra magic map, and I found that this is a recognised site, and referred to as a “prehistoric kerbed boulder”.
