What is recorded here

Located on the crest of a hill in a forested area with commanding views of the Twin Lakes to the S. The remains consist of four deeply set orthostats, aligned E-W, and a large boulder-like capstone 0.2m to the N. The capstone rises to a height of c. 0.5m above the surrounding ground level and there is a small cavity c. 0.25m deep underneath it. No evidence of a cairn survives.
