Description
An irregular 'cairn circle' in which c.20 slabs stand, or stood, about a roughly oval area, 11.9m by 10.7m, with traces of a slight bank, 1.5m wide and thought to be kerbed, without. The slabs' outward lean has been taken to be an original feature, and a hollow on the E may commemorate the excavation of a damaged cist.
