Retaining circle of the barrow touches the stone row on the east side. The circle has apparently consisted of eleven stones, one of which has been considerably displaced. The irregularity of the circle renders it difficult to state its original diameter. This circle was merely enclosing a ruined cairn; the burial could not be found.

A circle of stones touching the eastern side of the Stall Down single stone row, is a probable retaining circle from denuded round cairn. The circle comprises edge set slabs or upright boulders of granite forming a circle with a diameter of 4.3 metres. Several of the stones have now collapsed leaving only those on the western side in situ. No evidence of the cairn has survived.
