The long recumbent stone still stands, there is no sign of the flanker's however all the remaining circle stones have fallen, are broken and are merged with the fallen kerb stones that circle the massive cairn. The cairn is significant but has been heavily excavated leaving trenches through the site. Due to the heavy forest floor over growth it is difficult to get the true size of this massive site from these pictures.
