The classification of this site is uncertain. Barnatt in his 1990 publication suggests it may either be a kerb cairn or a free standing stone circle that has had its interior filled in.
The site consists of a bank 6m by 6m in diameter with five equally spaced stones around the edge. Three still stand approximately half a metre high, the others have collapsed outwards.
