This looks far more promising from above than it actually is, but it is still worth going down the slope to - there is a purpose built gap in the fence to allow you access.

A large stone stands proud in the centre of a disrupted stone circle, this could be the capstone, but it is impossible to say. Out of all the monuments in this section of the complex this one seems to be the most dominated by Knocknarea.
