Background
History
Around 1862, when the area was ploughed, some of the stones were buried or blasted. Some stones have been taken for a wall to the south. Ploughing uncovered two worked flints and a probable cist-slab. The circle was surveyed in 1966, but it was not easy to tell whether the stones have ever been in a standing position.
