Twenty-four surviving stones of an original forty-two form an attractive and well-ordered circle 24.7 (81 feet) in diameter. The stones are graded from upward from the south to the north, with the tallest at the north being 1.1m (3 feet 8 inches) high. Two 0.9m (3-foot) stones straddle the east side of the ring. Only 3 stones were standing prior to reconstruction in 1909.

Access: A 400m walk from Brisworthy Farm.
