A substantial circular monument 16m in diameter, possibly from the Neolithic Period. Defined by a ditch around 2m wide and 1m deep, within which large pits were recorded which appeared to have held upright timber posts.
This may have been associated with religious ceremonies and burial rites with pits nearby containing evidence of ritual feasting, including numerous animal bones and burnt material.
