Nine stones survive in an arc on the north and west of this Neolithic stone circle situated in the 'saddle' between Cambret Hill and Cairnharrow, with two others visible in the turf on the rest of the circumference. It is recorded as Canmore ID 63691 which tells us the stones: "define a circle about 25m in diameter. The largest surviving stone, which lies on the WSW, stands to a height of 1.2m and measures 0.8m by 0.2m at the base. The stones are all thin slabs, with their broad faces aligned on the circumference of the circle. What may be an outlier to the circle lies some 100m to the NNE (NX 5298 5723); it comprises a flat slab protruding from the peat with its long axis orientated towards the centre of the circle. See also the stone setting at NX 5291 5722."
