There is, what looks like, a small cairn just off centre, but the interior of the site has been greatly disturbed by rabbits.The circle has two entrances, exactly opposite, to the north and to the south and is the largest on the moor. Both entrances are flanked by stones, the southern one by two stones about 0.5m in height and that to the north by one stone, which is less than 0.5m.
