Internal Dimensions 25m x 16m. An irregularly-shaped area, enclosed by a series of set stones, is marked 'the ring' on the OS 6-inch maps. Within the enclosure is a low mound which is probably natural and a (probably modern) trench. The interior is very wet. Outside the N section of wall is a seat-like structure known as 'the Chair' formed from a number of stones. 18.7m NW of this site is a subcircular arrangement of loose stones 20.6m in diameter. Inside this there is a smaller scatter of stones in a loosely circular arrangement 4.04m in diameter. The whole site here is very overgrown. WNW of the ring is a triangular-shaped standing stone 1.04m high and 0.47m NW-SE. The whole complex, which also includes disused field boundaries and other scatters of stone, is situated on poor boggy hill land.
