Set in good pasture to the North East is a triangular standing stone which has survived extensive cultivation.
Around 100m to the West is a small boulder burial in the fence line which will soon be lost to the sea. 80m further West is another standing stone and beyond is a ruined house. To the West of this house is another paddock containing a larger boulder burial and numerous prehistoric features. It would appear that many boulder burials once occupied this field but were cleared in antiquity and only those at the edges remain.
