large stones form an ellipse on the top of the hill. They are between
2.1-2.7m (7-9ft) high in a 13.3x9.5m ellipse inside an excavated area of
peat. The inner hollow is very wet and inside the ring is a pile of
stones, the remains of a cairn, with the largest of the stones being about
0.6m set on edge.
View just showing the remains of the cairn
The standing stones have an attractive covering of lichen.
