resting on the outer ends of the two end
boulders of the row & containing the centre of the circle is a penannular
ring of loose stones forming a semi elipse
and
measuring interiorly some 25’ by 16’. There
are no visible signs of building but the details
have been much obscured by the interior
of the circle having been made a dumping
ground for stones gathered off the adjacent
field. The area within the
ring is not so stoney as to suggest that
it is the remains of a cairn which has
been removed.

near the centre. It faces toward the circle
