It has apparently been a square of about
7' external measurement with the sides lying
N and S. [North and South] and E and W. [East and West]. The E [East] side alone
seems to be completed & the W and S. [West and South] are awanting. It is formed of two
upright stones one at each end measuring

The higher of the upright stones is at the S. [South] end
and stands with its broad face Northwards.
Along the North side of the square lie two stones
