This is reportedly one of the largest circles in Scotland at about 57 metres diameter and has 8 stones remaining of the original 13. The tallest is 1.5 metres to the west near the stream.

This is an unusual stone circle as it is built in the valley bottom on the river plain rather than up on a ridge with a view.
