(02/07/1990) Centred SX 63938211. This site is almost certainly of natural origin. It comprises a compact group of boulders of assorted shaped and sizes up to 1.2m high which cover an area approximately 14m by 10m. It lies near the foot of a steep W-facing hillslope; a similar, though smaller group of boulders occurs circa 20m to the SW.
It is bisected by a linear reave (SX 68 SW 108) which extends down the hillslope and is now lost in the deep peat and silt deposit on the broad valley immediately to the W.
