These stones lie on the edge of a forestry plantation on a high ridge. It is unclear whether the stones originally stood upright, but if they did it has been estimated that they would have formed a circle of around 6.70m diameter. The six main stones currently sit on a circle of approximately 4.80m diameter, bisected by a fence.
