What is recorded here

Five stones stand complete in rough pasture beside the Sullane River, their parallel entrance set end-on to the circle. The interior holds field clearance stones, suggesting people cleared nearby land and built or reused the ring rather than leaving it empty. The small ENE-WSW chamber measures 2.1m, large enough for a few bodies or a single ceremony under an open sky.

In rough pasture, 30m E of Sullane River between ridges of outcropping rock. Circle complete; interior filled with field clearance stones. Entrance stones parallel, set end-on to circumference. Orthostats are 0.9m to 1.1m L, 0.17m to 0.55m T and 0.8m to 1m H. Internal measurement along main axis, aligned ENE-WSW, is 2.1m.
