This is another beautiful 5 stoner. The whole circle looks really odd because of the huge size of the stone compared to its small, 5m diameter.

One of the stones has beautiful solution pits in the top and strange axe shaped hollows on its flank. The four taller stones stand some 1.6m tall and the recumbent is 1.5m in length and 1.1m high.

The recunbent stone is very nice and has a step in its top facing inwards making it a perfect altar.

Very, very nice indeed!
