This a beautiful site, well managed with its own car parking, signage and pathways. One of my favourite sites with stunning 360° views. This site is popular and very well documented showing that over the years that stone positions have been adjusted and some re-erected.

The recumbent and both flanker's are still standing along with four circle stones with two further circle stones fallen. As well as the remains of the cairn beside the circle, there is, or has been an internal cairn, both have been heavily distributed. This is a lovely site but best to visit in the winter months to get a full view of the circle.

An excellent example of a recumbent circle and one of my favourites. From Great Crowns of Stone the gap between the west flanker (traditionally numbered No.1) and its nearest circle stone (No.11) was apparently the entrance to when the circle was used as a cattle pound back in the 1830's.
