Two of the stones stand at the southern and one at the northern side. The stone to the SE measures 3ft 6ins in height and is 2ft 3ins broad. The rounded pillarlike stone to the SW is also 3ft 6ins high but is 1ft 6ins broad. The pointed stone at the northern side is 2ft 4ins high, 1ft 6ins broad. The distance between them suggests that the circle was no more that 20 ft in diameter. The two rounded squat stones in the centre have been added recently.

Of these 5 stones, three were part of the original small circle pictured here.
