Description

Remains of recumbent stone circle; one remaining stone, impossible to say whether in situ or has fallen and been re-erected. The area of the circle, complete until about 1844, may have extended to the E of the stone. Apart from the stone, there is no trace of the other remains of the circle.
It is said to have been intentionally destroyed with explosives but I do not know how reliable this is.

Era

Neolithic era
