As a friend of mine commented elsewhere, this place is 'odd' - the location seems rather mundane. There seems to be no special landmarks to say, "This is why we picked this site."
There are just seven stones left here from a probable original thirteen. Luckily the axial stone remains and so we can see that it has a NE-SW axis, with the axial stone occupying the usual SW position. Another blessing is that one of the entrance stones is still standing, which is set radially, i.e. at right angles to the circumference of the circle. The diameter of the circle is around 6m. To the north is a large fallen stone, which may have been an outlier - it certainly wasn't part of the circle.
As with so many circles a tree grows alongside one of the stones.
