This monument includes two single stone alignments and two cairns situated on a gentle south facing slope on Wotter Common overlooking the valley of the Tory Brook. Both alignments are orientated north to south, have cairns at their northern ends and terminal stones at their southern ends. Further archaeological remains including a possible third alignment survive within the vicinity of the monument, but these are not included within the scheduling because they have not been formally assessed.
