See page for Danby Rigg. This curious circle now only has one large stone inside it. But in the late c.19th, Canon Atkinson said there were four.
Hi Mr Aire
Canon Atkinson initially mentioned 'sundry gaps' where stones stood and later mentioned standing stones 'stood, one in each cardininal point', these stones were not present when Atkinson visited and he didn't excavate where the stones were supposed to have stood.
A. Hardings excavations of the cairn (Ring-cairn 235) published in 1994, found that there was no evidence that there ever were any other upright stones on the site of the ring-cairn.
