Full description
Ordnance Survey Archaeology Division, 1977, SX57SE23 (Ordnance Survey Archaeology Division Card). SDV240621.
Remains of stone circle (H. Breton, 1950).
Does not exist (R. H. Worth, 1950).
This stone circle was not found during investigation and worth's comment is probably correct. The Reverend H Breton supplied information to Crawford in the 1920s and 1930s and much has been found to be erroneous (N. V. Quinnell, 22/8/1977).
