Little Meg is a circle of large kerb stones that were set around a barrow. The stones have been greatly disturbed by ploughing. One of the stones is decorated with concentric circles and a spiral - another decorated stone has been removed from the site.

Just a little way away is the huge stone circle of Long Meg and Her Daughters.
