The monument comprises the remains of a recumbent stone circle, situated on a well defined ridge at an altitude of about 80m OD. There are 2 surviving stones, including the recumbent stone which measures 2.7m x 1.6m x 0.9m, and the west flanker, which measures 1.7m x 0.7m x 0.5m. Both are now incorporated within a field wall.
The area to be scheduled is a circle 20m in diameter centred on the surviving stones, to include the remains of the stone circle and an area around in which traces of activities associated with the construction and use of the monument may survive, as shown in red on the attached map extract.
