tsstorey visited on 25th Sep 2015 - their rating: Access: 3 This circle is getting very overgrown with prickly gorse and tall grass. Some of the back stones were completely covered. I walked right through it and didn't notice it until I turned around. It would be a beautiful circle if it was cleaned out a bit.

This circle is difficult to find, but is worth the visit. There is a boulder burial in the center. There are 2 brilliant quartz stones at the S, as well as one off center within the ring.
