This fascinating site consists of five large standing stones in a stretched X shape, with a setting of several smaller stones close to the large central stone, along with a number of outlying standing stones (one of which is still standing).
The central stone is heavily cup marked.
The southernmost stones are each around nine feet tall.
A group of smaller stones, up to three feet tall, are arranged 80 feet to the north.
Close by is another nine-foot stone with some forty cup markings carved on its southern face.
Another 80 feet to the north are another pair of nine-foot stones.
