What is recorded here
In rough hill pasture, on the N bank of a stream on a W-facing slope. This anomalous stone group consists of four upright stones. Three non-contiguous stones form an arc W-E. The centre stone (H 0.18m; 0.37m x 0.13m) is orientated WNW-ESE. The W stone (H 0.12m; 0.46m x 0.08m) is 0.14m from the centre stone and is orientated E-W. The E stone (H 0.18m; 0.41m x 0.12m), which is orientated N-S, is 0.43m from the centre stone. A fourth upright stone (H 0.3m; 0.92m x 0.18m) is 2.2m to the SW and is set parallel to the central stone. The space enclosed by the four stones contains some grass-covered stones.
