What is recorded here
Located on W- and WNW-facing bog-covered hillside, partly enclosed in modern fields. Three discontinuous stretches of pre-bog walls run down and across hillslope, disappearing into uncut bog at W and incorporated into 19th-C field walls at SE. Covers an area c. 300m E-W by 200m N-S. Built of large granite boulders; the smaller stones have been robbed. One stone was previously mistaken for a standing stone (GA023-004001-).
