For more information see Pastscape Monument No. 8951, an extract of which reads: "The remains of a stone circle situated c.650 feet above sea level on a moorland head and with excellent visability extending over several miles in all directions. Of the original circle six stones are remaining, four being upright and two prostrate flush with the ground. The uprights, all inclined inward, vary in height from 0.4m to 1.1m, the prostrates are mainly mossed over. Within the circle although not central to it, is a cairn with a diameter of 7.1m and a maximum height of 0.4m, a central excavation has been made in the mound and what may have formerly been the side stone of a cist is exposed. The large upright within the field wall ... although doubtless a member of the circle, does not appear to be strongly earthfast and is possibly not in situ, the dimensions of 4' 7" given by the authority probably refers to an estimated base circumference. None of the uprights have packing stones. There are no traces of an accompanying ditch to the monument."
This monument is scheduled.
