For more information see Pastscape Monument No. 37323, an extract of which reads: "The circle is situated on a south-facing, natural terrace, with extensive views along the coast and over Walney Island. The remains of the circle comprises 5 stones still in situ and two probable displaced stones; the northern quadrant is clipped by a farm track and the latter two stones have been pushed to either side of it. A number of other smaller stones lie in the immediate vicinity of the circle; it is possible that they may represent the ploughed out remains of a central burial cairn. Seven stones, as described ... are visible on air photos."
