The monument comprises a stone circle of prehistoric date within a field approximately 240m NNE of Pitchroy. This monument was first scheduled in 1927, but the original scheduling documentation is missing and the area inadequately defined. The monument is being rescheduled to clarify the extent of the protected area.
The stone circle consists of two stones, one standing upright to approximately 2m and the other fallen approximately 8m to the NW and almost 3m long, indicating the likely south and western arcs of a circle.
The area to be scheduled is a circle 30m in diameter centred between the two 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.
