In pasture, on crest of low ridge of outcropping rock. Enclosure bounded on W by old road. Eighteen radially-set stones protrude 0.45-1.15m above surface of bank, c. 2m Wth, which encloses subcircular area c. 22m N-S by c. 25m E-W. Occurrence of three opposing pairs of stones suggests two concentric lines. Interior of monument level. Known locally as "lios", not as burial ground, though so named, apparently incorrectly, on OS 6 inch maps. Burial ground (CO150-055----) 250m to S.
