This stone circle sits in a garden beside some holiday cottages and is well looked after by their owners.

Around 6.40m in diameter, the circle consists of seven stones, although there were probably a further two to the NE and SW originally.

Five of the stones are small and low, and that to the W is almost buried.

But two of the stones are much larger than the others, the largest a square block 1.63m tall that has been split by a lightning strike.
