Another great site for the day. The monument now consists of a NE/SW alignment of three stones set 1m apart and a fourth stone 5m away (to the SW). It is impossible to say if there were ever any other stones in the gap, but if there were it would make the original line 7 stones long (assuming the two outer stones mark its limits).

The group of three stones are around 1.6m tall and quite chunky. The outlying stone is more pointed than the three. There are amazing views along the river valley below, where the River Bilboa winds through the hills, and again I found myself really admiring the builders for their choice of location.

About 10m east of the row is a ring barrow.
