The RCAHMS report says it all -
"Nothing is now visible of this stone circle, which stood in what is now cultivated field 640m SSE of Seggieden farmsteading (NJ52NW 138). The Ordnance Survey Name Book mentions that about 500 loads of small boulders were removed from the ground here, probably indicating that the circle enclosed a substantial cairn. The present whereabouts of an urn on the site of the circle in about 1841, are not known.
Visited by RCAHMS (IF, JRS), 20 February 1996."
