Description 1
On very rough upland peat lands, the area seems to have been
very much disturbed, probably by peat cutting, since it was
recorded in 1940. The site now consists of some 19 slabs, mainly
small, standing c.0.4m above the peat. Many can only be found
by probing the turf. The stones seem to run in straight lines,
rather than in arcs. The site is described as a circle 20ft
diameter with double alignment and a 2nd circle 45ft in diam
with an alignment running off into uncut turf. There were also
4 stones, which were seen as a part of a possible 3rd circle
to SE.

Description 2
This area of this site is now greatly obscured by Heather. It
is described as comprising a stone circle, 20ft in diam. with
a double alignment. NW of this was a large circle of 11 standing
stones 45ft in diam., surrounding c.25 stones just appearing
through the bog. An alignment 30ft long ran from this into uncut
turf. Today, only one clear circle, 7.4m in diam. can be seen,
on the east side of the scheduled area. On the west part what
may be the capstone of a chamber, which other potentially interesting
stones, are present.
