This apparent little five stone circle (of which just three stones remain) asks more questions than it answers. It is the two entrance stones that are missing, but the other pair are extremely evenly matched and the axial stone is low, flat topped in an altar-like fashion and rhomboid in plan.
However, it may not have been a five stone circle, despite its appearance. Inline with one of the matched stones is a fourth stone suggesting a more complex layout. To add further to the puzzle there is another stone set completely out of any possible pattern.
Nothing but excavation will ever solve the mysteries of this site, which is beautifully located on a high plateau-like hill top with great views.
