Description

The monument comprises a disturbed stone circle lying partly on either side of the A865 road.

The circle measures some 41m E-W by 39m N-S, and only 9 stones (7 to the N of the road and 2 to its S) are definitely identifiable as part of its circuit, although others lying nearby are also likely to be former uprights. Only one still stands nearly erect. Clear signs of post-holes and packing stones survive near several of the fallen stones. The public road which passes through the centre of the circle has been built up, and this, together with the encroaching peat, is likely to preserve further archaeological evidence hidden from view.

The area to be scheduled is a circle 90m across but excluding a 10m-wide strip which comprises the road and its immediate verge on either side. This contains the remains of the circle and an area around and within the circle in which further archaeological evidence is likely to survive, as shown in red on the accompanying map extract.
